What a fuss for such a tiny thing!
Protactinium - it means "the first".
So short lived it was called Brevium at first
until good Dr. Grosse steamed out its secrets.
It has the kind of ugly green lustre only found in the most
disagreeable nature.
Rarer than hen's teeth,
Good for nothing,
Dangerous as the very devil.
Studied almost nowhere by nuclear wizards,
just for the hell of it.
Isn't science wonderful?
