The Chemist

Majoring in school as a biology chemist Melanie finds joy conducting experiments Taking full time units at Butte College Learning, studying, gaining knowledge Not surprised if her thing for frogs and tortoise Came from having to dissect them on purpose Hours spent in the lab looking for an answer Maybe one day she’ll find a cure for cancer Her wit is dry, amusing to her friends Joking about chemical smells on her hands Her expressions, delivery, timing are superb Her humor is unique like nothing ever heard Friday night, band practice is heaven Playing bass guitar with Dani and Kevin Close friends on Sunday’s gather for lunch Downtown café, champagne brunch Go Green is her mantra, her life legacy Earth conscious and clean is her tendency Protect the environment, always recycle Choose to not drive, ride a bicycle At twenty two, she wants to have a voice Humboldt State is her college of choice She loves nature, living among the trees The rain, the mountains, falling leaves Her future looks nothing less than great Able to work long hours and stay up late Her gift is her humor, her mind, her resilience She has what counts, wit and brilliance
