Sodium and Chlorine Go On a Date

Sodium and Chlorine Go On a Date

By Elton Camp

Nate and Clio were electrically okay
Protons equaled electrons that way

But there was a good reason why
When they went out, sparks did fly

Nate gave one of his electrons away
And so became positive on that day

Clio added his electron to her cloud
“Now to be negative I am allowed”

Dissolved in fluids the two are delights
For living things must have electrolytes
