Data*fied Nursery Rhyme (AKA erudite nursery rhymes)
 
  I wrote this in response to a challenge to take a popular nursery rhyme and make it as technical as possible while keeping it poetic. Anyhow, this was my solution. However, I was sad to find out that this nursery rhyme had already been done and is quite well known. Regardless, it was still loads of fun to write...you should try one :)

(My Version)
Scintillate, scintillate miniscule self-luminous celestial quintessence
in self reflection, I deliberate your essence.
Elevated and transcending the solar system's exosphere
analogous to an allotrope in the atmosphere
Scintillate, scintillate miniscule self-luminous celestial quintessence
in self reflection, I deliberate your essence
©2008 Dawn Slanker

(Unknown Poet Version)
Scintillate scintillate asteroid minific
Fain I would fathom thy nature specific
Loftily poised in the ether capacious
Strongly resembling a gem carbonaceous
Scintillate scintillate asteroid minific
Fain I would fathom thy nature specific
