Premium Member ''Quantum Mechanical'': An Exercise in the Lyrical

So, so lyrical,
yet logical,
it's certainly atypical;
and not proverbial, 

but integral
and oh, most controversial!
But is it topical,
optical,

even for the intellectual
to see the actual
pragmatical
to its theoretical?

So casual, gradual, 
and implausible,
it’s almost incomprehensible
were it not for the owner’s manual.

It, too, appears eternal,—
not temporal.
Never mind paradoxical.
Damn! it’s infernal...

Alas, it'll be too “illogical”
for the head magisterial,
whose financial
committee might find it problematical.

Still, the crux is perennial:
it’s too pivotal
to not state the irrefutable
with extra audible mega-decibels

if the funding residuals
for scientific experimentals
like the quantum mechanical
are incommensurable,

which is thus deplorable,
intolerable, insufferable,
disagreeable, horrible,
and most unsupportable
(in my view as a professional)!
