3 Aromatic Choices
(Sung to the tune of 3 Blind Mice)
Anti-Aromatic Ring
People call me the name that I don’t want to be
My structure won’t le me be in the Aromatic family
I am cyclic and flat and have all my p-orbits
But Huckel’s rule you can bet that I broke it
You see my pi-electrons don’t equal 4n+2
I hate Huckel’s rule
I hate Huckel’s rule
Non-Aromatic Ring
I don’t care what people call me
I don’t even want to be in the Aromatic Family
Might not be cyclic or flat or have all the p-orbits
As long as Huckel’s rule is not the only I’ve broken
See that would make me the same as antiI never follow the rules
I never follow the rules
Aromatic
I happen to be what all others should be
I am the king of the Aromatic family
I am cyclic and flat and have all my p-orbits
I follow Huckel’s rule even though other may of broke it
The others may call me a goody-two-shoes but
I follow all four rules
I follow all four rules
