Hey carbanion, you look lonely.
Where�s your buddy?
Last time I saw you, you & Hydrogen�s proton
You looked so cuddly
Where�d she go?
You shake your head that you don�t know?
It can�t be so!
Hey carbanion, don�t you look
But there�s your girlfriend
see her flirting w/that strong base over there,
Just what did happened
W/you 2?
Your bond broke & came to you.
So sad but true.

He says,
�Oooooooh, this all just gets to me!
Ooooh, who�ll want to bond w/me?
Oooooooooh, this all just bothers me!
Oooh, just who�ll bond w/me�.who�ll bond w/me�.?
Hey carbanion, don�t be bothered
With the facts you face
There�s someone made for everyone
All carbons leave a trace
Just let it pull.
That carbon�s electrons not yet full
Pull�s strong like bull!
Hey carbanion, don�t be shy
Just go & talk to her.
Her charge is positive, just reel her in
And please concur
W/all I�ve said.
You�re both attached like long-lost friends.
Don�t thank me yet.
He, now, says,
�Ooooooooooooooh, stabilize just meee
Oooooh, so happy you�re w/me.
Ooooooooooooh, you�re bonded, now, w/meee
Oooooh, just stay right here w/me
Seconds ago, you seemed so far
I beamed you in just like the Death Star
I�ll never blow your home planet one day!
Our friends all now make fun of us
We�re stable now & they can�t justify
W/out you how I lived that way.
Cation, I can promise you
W/no strong base you�ll have no clue
That I�m your knight in armor to this day
Strong base stay away!
Hey carbanion, you�re now full
Now don�t you thank me
Dr. P knew all of this &
Taught it in O. Chemistry
He�s quite the dude!
He went to Duke & Florida, too.
Don�t take the class unless you have to!
Hey carbanion, here�s to you.
This one�s for you.
He still says,
�Oooooooooooh, stabilize just me.
Oooooooh, so happy you�re w/me.
Oooooooooooooh, you�re bonded, now, w/me.
Oooooh just stay right here w/me.
