Turtles All the Way Down

(A short lesson in Republican science!) Seems once in a while even dumb folks are right Even broken clock's right twice a day friend, Bets off if clock's digital, LED's can't pretend And with features so plentiful, truth can be blight! Modernity tells you life's multiple choice, But the answers can sometimes be tricky, And scientists too may not always agree, So that most hallowed halls echo more than one voice. But world's true believers hate truth that's a clown So a particle/wave must be nonsense, Their ancestor worship avoids all pretense, "The world rests on a turtle (repeating on down!)"
