Platinum Platitudes
Rarer than an honest man attempting to ford a play to curtain’s close
No nickel and copper deal
Resistance, as it turns out, is not futile
Fit for those with monikers like scrivener Stephen
Plays around a million times
Heavier than thirty pieces
Trendier than the karat rule
Holds your preciouses still and safe
Drives ‘til there’s nothing left to inspect
Reluctant to unite doesn’t mean unwilling to bling

King Louis XV: "The only metal fit for a King"
Album, 1 million copies sold-Platinum
Heavier than silver, trendier than gold
1898, Louis Cartier started the platinum with gems trend

Reluctance to combine chemically with other elements
