The Table of Knowledge
A Geek philosopher named Democritus
With his companion Leucippus
Believed matter is made up of tiny particles.
It is hardly noticeable.
At the turn of the 19th century
Dalton’s atomic Theory progressed Chemistry.
Supporting many important laws governing chemical changes,
Answering the many questions and mazes.
John Newlands made the Law of Octave,
But could never be a perfect octet.
Only a light in the obscure mind,
That could never be declined.
Many made changes in this table
But could never be settled,
Sooner perfected to perfection,
Later in admiration.
Realization for the Scientist,
Knowing the elements for the students,
Imparting knowledge to our minds,
It is unique and one of a kind.
