Having a Blast with a Limerick

Riding along on a train in sweltering heat in Bahrain
Was a young man looking uncannily like Cain,
The first ever murderer that we know of.
But this one here was a show off.
He was not planning to use a club but hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane.

PS: Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (commonly known as CL-20 or HNIW) is a polycyclic nitramine compound engineered as one of the most powerful, non-nuclear high explosives in existence.

    1. I sometime go to a rhyming dictionary, more for inspiration rather than actual rhymes (train has so many) and I normally don’t look for longer ones than 3 syllables anyway. But this 12 syllable word caught my eye!
