One little atom Sitting all alone
Has eight negative electrons Which is all he owns
Feeling rather empty The atom looked with thrill
For a couple more electrons So his valence he could fill
Along float another pair Stopping by to say
“Do you need a hand with those? Or around us should these stay?”
The first atom replied, Feeling rather large
“Of course my friends— You’re welcome to this charge!”
So into his orbit The other two did throw
Their single small electron So that his orbital may grow
But when they did this They had a turn of luck
For to the first atom The other two were stuck!
Although this may seem funny Try not to ridicule
For when atoms share with others They form a molecule!
