There was a young chap called Frederick Worms
Whose parents weren't on speaking terms
When Freddie wrote to Santa Claus
He wrote in duplicate because
One to Dad and one to Mum
Each asking for plutonium
Now Freddies father and his mother
Without consulting one another
Each sent a lump of largish size
Intending it for a surprise
They met in Freddies stocking and
Laid waste some ten square miles of land
So learn from this tale of nuclear fission
And don't confuse science with superstition
