Beryllium


From this sweet salt, I will make you emeralds and aquamarine. From this pale metal, I will forge you glass that will not melt. Let me take this sweet bivalent and make of it an instrument that spins to tell us where we are. Let me form a cord of it to run between your lips and mine, so we can talk to one another faster than sound has ever traveled before.	By nathan long

I got an atomic number of 4
And I am quite a bore
I’m not very fast
But I sure can scratch glass

I am from the Greek
And once referred to as sweet
I am very light-weight
So please, don’t use me as a paper weight

I am gray and strong
And can go pretty long
Without getting heated
Melted or eaten

I’ve been in outer space
And I couldn’t wait to get back from that place
I can go quite a while without getting oxidized
So if you got time, stop by and say “hi”

By Nick Jensen

PERFORM
BERYLLIUM
MANHANDLE
Count to atomic weight four;
forecast a symbolic registry;
predict light steel gray metal.
OXIDATION RESISTANT
Add up this available as a foil;
lump together a shiny beauty;
gather a thermal conductivity.
WHIRLING BERYLLIUM
Alloy spring off from this one;
spinning dimensional stability
balance up a lively gyroscope.
PROMOTE OTHER USES
Apply a transparency to X-rays.
form the mineral combinations;
cut the precious state emeralds.
THRILLED ABOUT BERYLLIUM
Incorporate it in spacecraft design,
construct high speed aircraft of it;
use it for building electronic parts.
IT'S BOTH LIGHT AND HARD
Mine it for it's desirable properties;
utilize excellent situations where it
satisfies quite special requirements.
ONLY SUITED TO BERYLLIUM
Gather up the yet wider applications;
know an element exists for a reason;
it helps expand living consciousness.
DEVELOPING GREAT TRUTHS
It serves the clearest duties diligently;
it adheres to these rational world laws;
it does more work with less complaints.

Beryllium Fly you to the stars, we said we would. Kill us all, you said you could. So find we did another way; and here on earth, you do stay.	By John Lerch
