BARIUM OH BARIUM

Where are you now

You are oh so active

While I was inactive

And I found what was wrong

My Doctor hit me with a gong

You went down my throat

And covered it like a coat

I thank an important element

You rescued me from an accident

I thank thee.

Job: I work for the hospital where I am drank. I go down the throat and through the G.I. Tract. My job is to cover things in my liquid form and just slither on through. It is very important that I do a good job for it could determine what happens to that person. I try to be nice and taste as good as I can but I am a medicine and will force my way down. I’m paid well and I feel joy when all my takers are happy. I will continue my job until I can no longer trickle down even the oldest persons throat.
