A poem for the month - June

​

Apparently

The Science Museum in Kensington

has a periodic table,

apparently.

The elements are all on display

in glass jars,

including the inert gases

such as helium, neon, and argon.

These noble gases are tasteless,

odourless, and colourless.

The labels say they are contained

in the apparently empty jars,

but who knows for sure?

It is a matter of faith.
