What Did My True Love of Science Give to Me?

On the twelfth day after solstice, my true love of science gave to me —

12 protons in Magnesium

11 atoms in Propane

10 spacetime dimensions

9 lovebird species

8 local planets

7 cervical vertebrae

6 quark flavours

5 living kingdoms

4 fundamental forces

3 rock groups

2 strands of DNA and

1 black hole singularity

I know some of these numbers are debatable and it's hard to sing, but isn't it the thought that counts?
