"But If I Was a Solenoid" (A birthday poem)

But if I was a solenoid,

I would be more solenoid-esque.

Wait, what is a solenoid,

isn't it some sort of mixture?

I think so, yes.
I believe it is the sort of mixture
in which the particles are vertically suspended.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up!

Well, one does ones best.

Wait, isn't that a colloid?

Oh dear, did I muck things up?

Well, I'm pretty sure that in a colloid,

the particles are suspended in some sort of liquid,
in some sort of cup.

Oh, then what's a solenoid?

I think it has something to do with electricity.

Huh.
