We are beginning our journey into space for the next Children’s song cycle for the Abbey in May with the Atom.
Eventually, I worked out how to write it – thanks to a book club meeting on Wuthering Heights!
Atom
One two three
One two three
They waltz eternally
Calmly
externally
But oh the
fires that burn
In them internally!
One two three
One two three
Proton loves yearningly
All of his energy
Is fixed on her
One two three
One to three
Neutron just
doesn’t care
She hardly
knows he’s there –
Nose in the air!
One two three
One two three
Outside their
cosy globe
Prowls the
Electron
That burns for them both!
Should he and
Proton meet
Fire would be our fate.
Their split would
kill us all
Such is his hate!
Proton and Neutron turn
Locked in their endless dance
Ringed by Electron
Forever alone…
One two three
One two three
They waltz eternally
Calmly
externally
But oh the
fires that burn
In them internally!
