Neptunium! the greenish hue
Of death radioactive
Is not that attractive
Though the oxidation state is new.
Neptunium! not Uranium
Thy friend and yellow sire
Nor thrown when missiles fire
Like the fissile child Plutonium.
Neptunium! the mobile bane
Of desert mountains drear:
At Yucca Mountain, fear
Grips us if you leak back out again. |
