Alright class, settle down and letβs take a peek,
At the word βruby,β a gemstone unique!
The dictionary tells us, itβs true,
βA clear, deep, red variety of corundum too.β
Now, βCorundumβ is a mineral bright,
Like sapphire blue, shining with delight.
But this one's special, a fiery hue,
A rich, bold crimson β that's ruby for you!
Think of rubies gleaming, so red and grand,
A precious stone held in a royal hand.
Itβs valued highly, a treasure to see,
So remember this lesson, class, happy as can be! π
