The Colour of Chemistry (For Charlie.) (This is supposed to be a poem with lots of different voices. I dunno if there's a specific name for it.)
"Chemistry.
Chemicals.
Experiments and explosions.
Chemistry, such a wonderful thing.
What is it's colour?"
"Chemistry doesn't have a colour!
That's ridiculous, you know?
It's a subject, not an object.
It's colour can't be told!"
"I hate to disagree,
but I must, sadly.
Chemistry has a colour,
It's a... a peaceful white!"
"Nonsense, you hear me?
That's nonsense, I say!
Chemistry isn't white!
It's a dull, dull gray!"
"Preposterous!"
"Rubbish!"
"Rot!"
"Chemistry's not, it's just not,
the colour dull gray!
It's a mix of all colours,
and explosions, I say!"
