Munday on Monday: Elements

IN THE NEWS: Four new chemical elements are tentatively named: nihonium, moscovium, tennessine and oganesson.

In naming of the elements —

The standards that they’re using —

I’m glad they shun that pesky trend

That stadiums are choosing.

For what, pray tell, if elements

(As sponsorship appears)

Were named for say, insurance firms,

Or orange juice or beers?
