It's No Foofaraw

Dioxygen difluoride, which is also known as FOOF,
Is a really nasty substance. Now, in case you want the proof,
Know that elemental fluorine’s super risky to extract.
Many nineteenth-cent’ry chemists died attempting this, in fact.
But at seven hundred Celsius, it gets a whole lot worse,
As the fluorine will dissociate and atoms will disperse,
Which allows them to combine with all the oxygen around.
(I assume this isn’t something that in nature can be found.)
FOOF is stable at a hundred eighty Celsius below.
Any warmer and it soon reacts with anything to blow.
Even ice will catch on fire if not explode with help from FOOF.
That’s why almost no one makes it. If you do, you’ve made a goof.
