Compensated Polarized Light Verse

To the Editor: Is it as hard for you, as it is for me, T o remember what the sign of MSU should be? Just think that you're a golfer, then drive the ball afar, Sink a nice long putt, and YELL for U R PAR! T h e monosodium URate (MSU) crystals of gouty arthritis are YELLOW PARallel to the axis of slow vibration indicated by a n orienting arrow on the compensator of a polarizing microscope. T h e calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystals of chondrocalcinosis and pseudogout are blue i n this same relative position (1,Z).
