I like the way molybdenum
sounds and looks.
The word, I mean.
I've not seen molybdenum in person
nor heard it.
Not that I know what it would
sound like.
It's a metal, so I'd guess it'd
go clang or something
if you whacked it against a desk
or hit it with a hammer.
Since it's harder than iron or steel,
you might want to use
someone else's hammer
if you do hit it.
Molybdenum means lead
which is a bit confusing since
it's not lead. Lead is something else.
It was also confused with graphite
though nobody made pencils out of it
that I know of.
I admit I haven't researched that part much.
Too much molybdenum causes gout,
infertility, and diarrhea.
It is, however better than too much lead.
Regardless,
it is unlikely you'll get too much molybdenum.

The line break "since / it's not lead" is perfect.
I kind of love this poem. Can I borrow your hammer?
You can have this pencil instead. I don't know what it's made of.
