Jovian Gemstone Precipitation

Based on the BBC news article "Diamond rain falls on Saturn and Jupiter" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-24477667 Mighty Jupiter - king of planets Noxious gasses form a blanket Fearsome storming - red spot raging Timeless tempest never aging Lightning cracking - breaks methane Sooty puff clouds fall like rain Clumping forming - makes graphite Dropping further losing height Pressure rising carbon crush Diamond snow in downward rush Heat increasing gemstones melt Further down as mist does pelt To carbon ocean 'neath the sky From boffins' sums in their mind's eye
