Mad Molecule

Just because we can Do you really think we should Does this meddling with nature Really do the world any good One eccentric particle Escaped gravity’s grip Flew the Hadron Collider On a short lasting trip Across the multiverse On a zig-zag track Clocks struck twenty eight The calendars turned back For just a brief instant The world spun twice as fast Causing a contradiction That just couldn’t last. But these exotic particles Just don’t exist for long And in the blink of an eyelid It had vanished and gone. The contradiction resolved The clocks struck four And the world’s revolution Returned to normal once more. In the Hadron Collider, unaware A particle had briefly flown free The supervisor and staff Sipped their afternoon tea, Creation’s full of mad molecules We don’t know or understand Should the Large Hadron Collider Be shut down and banned.
