Mendeleev keeps on dreaming,
lost in scientific scheming:
he’s selecting, with precision,
the first element for his vision.
Mendeleev—quite the pro—
chose some tasty coffee, though.
Found in it the “Green Coffee”
and assigned the symbol “Ok.”
To this element, still in bed,
he gave the number zero instead.
Then came helium, hydrogen, gin—
but Ok Green was where to begin!
