Chemical Christmas Carols:
Xenon, the inert atom, had a very stable shell,
And all the other atoms wished that they could do as well,
All of the other atoms used to laugh and call him names;
They never let poor xenon join in any bonding games!
The one dark and stormy night, fluorine came to say-
Xenon with your stable shell,
You could pair my p so well!
Then all the atoms loved him as they shouted out with glee:
Xenon the inert atom--you'll go down in chemistry!

Then there was one about the shells that started out:
S-p-d, s-p-d, s-p-d-f-g!
Oh, what crud is is to cram for a lousy F or D!
