curiosly Marie and Pierre Curie
were unable to discover me
but for their pioneering work in radioactivity
they honored them by giving the name Curium to me

the third transuranic element discovered
but the fourth one sequentially placed after Uranium

the way that I'm produced is alpha particle bombardment
I was only isolated elementally in 1951

curios curios Curium
what use for me will be devised by men
radioisotope thermoelectric generators
if my short half-life wasn't so undesirable
gamma and beta radiation occur when I decay
and I might just be integral in the nuclear fuel cycle one day

the third transuranic element discovered
but the fourth one sequentially placed after Uranium

Curium
