Poetic Thoughts, January 28, 1975

I was looking through a folder of poetry and stories from high school and I found this, written 51 years ago today.

My Friend, the Proton

the proton in my friend, a very nice friend he is

staying in his orbit, always minding his biz.

sometimes the little proton gets lonely

like we all do, so he finds a willing

hydroxide, and they form a drop of water

falling split-splat upon my window-pane

like my chemistry book says they oughta;

yes, the happy proton is a good friend.
