I Show You a Mystery

I show you a mystery- they are “3” yet “1”- “3” has great value beauty and clarity- “ 1” is amorphous- worthless and ugly- “2” is flaky yet smooth as velvet and cabbages and kings have they in common. “3” is sought by royalty- and single ladies as well- while “1” is the object of a chimney sweeps ire. Though “1”and “2” may beget “3” there is no regret- when a housewife scrubs away “1” with “3” on her finger- or for artists that create with “2” in their hand. Many have sought to change- “1” and “2” into “3”- but only a fool would seek to change “3”. “1” is spelled with an S, and “2” with a G- while “3” is spelled with a D- yet all are a form of element C. Surely by now you must know what they are.
