The Demi Said to Me
The first time I took it up
The demi said to me:
"There's one metal more in group 3."
The second time I took it up
The demi said to me:
"Chloride isn't there,
And there's one metal more in group 3."
The third time I took it up
The demi said to me:
"Iron's there in traces
Chloride isn't there,
And there's one metal more in group 3."
The fourth time I took it up
The demi said to me:
"Who said manganese?
Iron's there in traces
Chloride isn't there,
And there's one metal more in group 3."
