Molybdenum
The farmer in the dell,
The farmer in the dell,
Needs some Molybdenum
To make his crops grow well.
The farmer plants some seeds,
And clears away the weeds,
Water, sun, but he’s not done,
There’s something else he needs.
An enzyme he will need.
Nitrogenase is key.
But without molybdenum,
It won’t work properly.
For in nitrogenase
There is a special space,
Where an atom of molybdenum
Proudly takes its place.
