Smiles are free
use one everyday.
While at school i learned this
little ditty to help me remember
scientific names and formulas.
Little Brian is on the floor.
Little Brian is no more.
For what he thought was H2O
was actually H2SO4.
For those who have forgotten
H2SO4 is Sulphuric Acid!.
Mary had a little lamb
its fleece was full of fleas.
But did ya know the little mite
had foot and mouth disease!.

Ohhh, poor lamb. She won't even be wanted in the Middle East as meat.
Smiles Are Free Use One Every Day used to be on car bumper stickers many years ago. I appropriated the saying for myself, signing off many letters and notes with it. I planned on having a T-shirt printed with it too, but never got around to it.
At school we learned "the mites go up and the tights come down" to help us remember which were the stalagmites and which were the stalactites.
I remember little Brian. It was my father rather than school who taught it to me though.
H2SO4 is Sulphuric Acid!.
Serious bummer! Yeah, down here in my part of South Carolina where science is thought of by many as something akin to witchcraft its not unheard of for unfortunate accidents like that to happen.
Just Darwin being proved right.
I'm not too good with formulas either.
Think I'd best leave well alone after reading this!!!
