She told us stories.
I remember the
one were
she said that her
great grand father
started a smokehouse
business were
he cured pork and
sold beef and turkeys
in the city and at
resturants.
She spoke of a recipe
for cheery and almond
wine: distilled to be liquier.
She said the recipe was hidden in
the walls of
Sole Semete' in New Bristol.
She gave me the map and said she
belived their was silver and gold
in the chest full of valuables.
" Tresure of Baryon".
CHARM SCHOOL
They found two heavy charmed quarks,
the other one, straight up for larks.
One up and two splendidly rotund,
you ain't heavy, you're a baryon.
A poised new baryon in inner space,
you’ll define and describe your place.
What flavor is there for today,
in your fleeting quick decay.
Collided winks in mass array,
a subatomic burst display.
A glimpse of lithesome spinning up,
with your two roly-poly pups.
On binary cycle mass to mass,
heavy bits just moving past.
In pas de deux the lithesome one,
sails around the chunky ton.
Your four times heavier than most,
a source of energy is not your boast.
But may the Strong Force be with thee,
as we foretell in Q C D.
We just hate what you’ve been named,
It’s greek to us and so untamed.
Called: ka-sigh-see-see-plus-plus,
I dub thee, Hippo-part-icus.

This was after this new unusual particle was discovered in July of 2017 and I’m just getting around to finishing it. Dedicated to the team of the LHCb experiment.
