NCiR’ CLAPBACK TUESDAYS

All Ye Noble Gases

to those who don’t give a clap

cobbled together by the author

neon

This one’s for you
The formless, the gaseous
The ephemeral and fleeting masses
The silent majority

argon

I sensed you there
Something moved the ether
Loved to have you visit, in spirit
Sad you left without a mark, barely a trace

krypton

No words?
What holds you back?
Is it the glut of opportunity?
Does the overabundance of options overwhelm?

xenon

Go on
Pick your poison
Highlight what electrified you
Respond to what made your particles collide

radon

Resist not
Give up an electron, or two
Throw me a spark, make me glow, show me some traction
Even noble gases — can have a reaction!

Thanks for your attention! I dedicate this to my dad, Váradi József, the best vegyészmérnök (chemical engineer) I know.
