Banana in Glass By Sandy Liu
For Organic Chemistry Lab, Dr. Susanne Schubert
Careful, grease the joints
Reaction will take its course
Must have a reflux
Waiting by the glass,
Theory yield high, but flask low
Patience is the key
Vapor climbs the glass
Rises, cools, and falls again
Pure liquid collects
Golden ester drips,
Sweet scent fills the late lab
Banana in glass
