Since Mendeleyev’s prediction,
Every few years–
One by one–
All ninety-two have been identified
As being present in various abundances
In all the known stars of the heavens,
While ninety-one of them
Have been isolated by scientists
Somewhere on planet Earth,
And all of them have the exact characteristics
Predicted by Mendeleyev and his colleagues.
"And all the foregoing
Subjective harvesting–
Accomplished by individuals
Bound together
By naught other than intellectual integrity–
Has enabled still other
Remotely exploring
Educatively inspired individuals
First to discover
Then inventively to employ
