Limerick crochetés: Once Fukushima Lady Uranium

Once Fukushima Lady Uranium
Madly in love with Hanford Plutonium
	Sent him hot-kissed missile
	Twice Hiroshima smile:
“R.S.V.P. Pluto to Uranus in mime!”

Missile misfired detoured Koreanium
O’er Kamchatka harassed by Putt-Inn-ium
	Security Council 
	Issued stark Codicil
“Pacific love letters: ‘Putt-Inn-Bin, Hmh!’ “

Then lovesick Mamasan Uranium
Stole Crime-ian Green Card made in Elysium
	KGB stamp fossil
	Put Putt-Inn behind grill
So cut through Alaska helped by Pale-Inn-Yum!

At last Mamasan came close to Plutonium
At Hanford received no hugs in delirium
	Sat by waste river spill
	Her heart sank without thrill
Till Pluto-Uranus sang the Union Hymn!
