Humor:  Chant to the cadence of the first four pages of Fox in Socks by Dr. Seuss:
                FO_x, O_x, BrO_x, NO_x.
                NO_x with BrO_x. No FO_x with O_x!
                NO_x with FO_x and ClO_x: more O_x!
                O_x with NO_x and NO_x with ClO_x. ClO_x and BrO_x and FO_x with NO_x.
