Three Scientific Clerihews

I.

The great Albert Einstein
Would appreciate a fine wine,
And after sipping a little
He would play upon his fiddle 

II.

The legendary chemist Linus Pauling
Found the hydrogen and atom bombs appalling,
And after winning one for chemistry he would not cease
Until he won another Nobel Prize for peace.

III.

Madame Marie Sklodowska Curie
Was just as famous as could be—
Amidst the fin-de-siècle pandemonium
She discovered radium and polonium.
