Polonium: choose your fate,  
      cancer or radiation

11/24/21 (Twitter-length Periodic Table poem 
for the element #84 Polonium (Po)

Polonium’s really radioactive 
(a word Maric Curie created) and is in cigarettes. 
Curie discovered Polonium, 
but its radiation can’t cure you 
of cancer from smoking, and radioactivity killed 
Marie Curie. 
A cigarette ember’s glow 
is not like Polonium’s blue glow— but both can kill.
