Question:

I am looking for a chemistry article that was written in verse, like a poem?

I happened upon a chemistry article from JACS or another chemistry journal where the author wrote the entire article in verse and I would like to find that article again. I can't remember the name of the journal, the title of the article, the author or even the subject. I do remember it was a really old article. I would like to use the article in a class to teach students scientific writing and how scientists use creativity in the lab. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

The only thing I can think of is the list of the elements sung by Tom Lehrer to the music of Arthur Sullivan.

If you are looking for science creativity read some of Isaac Asimov's Black Widow stories.
