For the contest: To go boldly where no poet has gone before - In this case into the spooky world of Quantum Mechanics  and its strangeness and entanglement, which surely mirrors rhyme.

In quantum mechanics particles remain entangled And connected over huge distances. So that actions performed on one particle Still affect the others in the web or wave. Einstein called entanglement "Spooky at a distance" Because he couldn't explain the fate of Schrödinger's cat. In a strange twist of fate, scientists Discovered a new phenomenon called 'rhyme' Which was related to 'strangeness' of quarks. Rhyme was the missing link between entropy and entanglement. Rhyme was what kept particles entangled by strong reason. But the law of entropy ensures that ordered entangled particles that rhyme Must dissociate fast to maximum disorder, releasing huge amounts of energy. The breakthrough came when NASA employed poets to entwine reason and rhyme To create Rhyme Drive, a quantum ion drive engine beyond belief, Which was capable of getting a spacecraft to Mars in 42 minutes flat. Speed of light shattered by rhyme and reason, science and poetry enwrapped in strangeness. So it was dawn at Cape Canaveral for launch of Rhyme 1 to Mars, With gaggle of poets and scientists on board the first flight, Ready to prime and prompt Rhyme Drive to cite and perform. No need for sandwiches, as this touch and go return flight, would be back before lunch. Hawking and Branson embraced, and cheered the lift off Rhyme 1 Waving a banner "Rhyme Warps Time, See You Soon"
