The mnemonic for remembering the full name of DDT:
A mosquito was heard to complain,
“A chemist has poisoned my brain!”
The cause of his sorrow?
A dose of dichloro-
-diphenyltrichloroethane.
Cheers,
Chris

Miss Farad was pretty and sensual
And charged to a reckless potential;
But a rascal named Ohm
Conducted her home -
Her decline was, alas, exponential.

There was a young fellow from Trinity
Who took the √∞
But the number of digits
Gave him the fidgits;
He dropped Maths and took up Divinity.

There was a young girl who was very keen
To soar high in the air from a trampoline
She had great success
Though she was quite a mess
After lighting some Trinitrotoluene

The integument used so to hide
The organs and bones deep inside
‘Till Röntgen discovered
Rays that uncovered
Whatever was wounded, save pride.

A friend who's in liquor production
Owns a still of astounding construction.
The alcohol boils
Through old magnet coils -
He says that it's "proof by induction”.

Galileo perfected in spades
The magnificent gadget that aids
Us in viewing the stars
And the planets, like Mars.
Of course, NOW, we need curtains and shades.
