It Is Too Good To Be True
By Patrick D'Hoostelaere
Mercury, it is nice for some odd jobs.
You can use it to find temperature,
Air pressure, or as an ancient cure-all.
But it is also a killer, it robs
People of life, of that you can be sure.
Too much of this stuff will be your downfall.
It melts your brain and destroys your liver,
With it in you will shake and quiver.
Lots of it can be found in the big fish,
Or working in the mines, that’s a death-wish.
But don’t be alarmed,
It takes quite a while for you to be harmed.
