Oh my god it's so much fun,
when I shoot you with my neutron gun,
If you are an atom of uranium,
I will split you into Krypton and Barium,
Do not feel safe in your bullet proof pajama,
As I can melt it with some heat and Gamma,
Oh my god it's too much fun,
when I shoot you with my neutron gun...

I wrote this poem to entertain my students of class 8 while teaching them Nuclear Fission in Chemistry. I recited it with a lot of drama and they enjoyed it. But at the end everyone said "It is so lame!"

nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts (lighter nuclei), often producing free neutrons and photons (in the form of gamma rays), and releasing a tremendous amount of heat energy.
