52 : 6/1/98 : Titrate

Hush, careful; one drop at a time
we can not be too cautious
with such a fine specimen

One drop, another, the tension is sublime
he looks a little nauseous
I'd hate to have to back-titrate him

Careful, watch the color
It's as much an art as science
a balance as brittle as glass

The vessel, now slightly fuller
I do believe that our appliance
is approaching his crucial mass

titrate our unwilling guest
watch the color leave his face
I think it's time we balanced his equation

Neutralize this hapless pest
drop some acid in his base
A lesson to whoever tries to rise above his station
