Dodging Chemistry

The sounds of wroom and Whoosh and
Scherrrr I'd relate to a racing track
but as they say the world is round
what goes around comes back
of late the classes have begun
and I have Chemistry again
So again in class I'l sit and write
that the subject is such a pain
Oh! getting back to where I was
the sounds of Whoosh and Wroom
Right now in this class i am
I can hear thse in the room
The Prof. standing and preaching
in a language unknown to man
and i'm genuinely trying to pay
attention, as much as i possibly can
but the words Pyridine chloro chromate
just do not ring a bell
the words just bounce of my head
and hopefully land up somewhere in hell
this bouncing of words you know
is not a funny thing
they clash and clang and bang away
before disappearing in a bling
now tired of the banging
I'm playing a different game
I'm trying to miss the words
that he's throwing all the same
At times i am successful and
the words pass near my ear
The whoosh and wroom and at times
a scherrr, that how i am able to hear

Chemistry vis a vis Promiscuity

Being a student of law with science is quite interesting, especially when you have to study family law and heterocyclics in the same course. Now if we were to look at organic chemistry like all atoms were individuals and bonds were conjugal society what would we get?

Carbon can have 4 wives but can also have 2 or 3 marriages with the same wife and strangely this third marriage is actually less stable than if there were another atom instead. Oxygen can have 2 but as such lives in a caste based society and inter-caste marriage is mostly with hydrogen on one side. Lucky/unlucky sulphur forms a whole new religion allowing six bonds. The funny thing is that there is only hydrogen that is monogamous and of course we have our inert bachelors that sometimes make an exception. Then we have multiple relations and polymer relations are definitely joint families. Oh the funny thing, the order of the day is defiantly not monogamy then why is it like that in family law?
