There once was an element named France Who seemed to have ants in her pants She'd give her electron To any who came along Just to have a full valence. There once was a girl named Heather Whose weight was as light as a feather It got windy one day The wind blew her away For she wasn't tied down with a tether. There once was a girl named Suzanne Who got a letter from Ed McMahon It said, "You are in luck! You just won a buck! But first you have to buy a Ram Van." There once was a girl named Suzanne Who never liked using Saran It never did stick At least not very quick So she mailed it on back to Japan. Fall 1996 (start date)
