The Lullabies of Mr. B.


Rocking the Queen back to sleep
I was listening to Mr. B. singing a lullaby to the Queen tonight. It began on track, but turned into something quite unexpected.
Old McDonald had a cow
E-I-E-I-O

and on that cow there was a tick
E-I-E-I-O
with tick-tick here, and a tick-tick there,
here a tick, there a tick, everywhere a tick-tick
Old McDonald had a tick
E-I-E-I-O
and on that tick there was a bacterium
....
and on the bacterium there was a virus
...
with a virus here....
...
and on the virus there was a phospholipid
...
and on the end of the phospholipid there was an ester group
...
with an ester group here...
...
and on the ester group there was a double-bonded oxygen
...
and on the double-bonded oxygen there were 17 electrons because it was an ion
...
with an ion here...
...
and on those electrons there was matter yet to be discovered
E-I-E-I O!!!!

Having a pre-med husband makes for some very enlightening discussions...and songs.
At least the Queen will have quite the education before she even starts Preschool.
