Get Under Your Desks School Children

I am spinning my radioactive waves today. Alpha beta gamma There they go! Beta gamma alpha Even faster. Gamma alpha beta Man can they fly! I am radium. My atomic nuclei is rapidly disintegrating So please get under your desk, school children. And put your tiny fingers and arms over your heads. So you will be safe.

I wish every teacher is like this, protecting children from the harmful rays of alpha, beta, gamma :D

I was rather poking fun of the 50's and 60's when they put us under desks pretending we would be safe from an atomic bomb.
