Hydrogen Fusion
H plus H plus beta equals D,
D plus another H make He3,
He3 plus He3 is Be6,
Which soon decays to He4
Plus H and H left over, flying free,
Ready to make some more.
Meanwhile, H plus H plus beta
Also makes a positron,
Positron plus an electron
Makes a photon plus a photon,
And D plus H makes another one –
And that’s what lights the Sun.
