Uncertainty Principle

There once was a particle in space 
Who moved at a leisurely pace.
   He measured his speed 
   but Heisenberg didn't heed 
And lost track of his place. 


Explainer: 
If you are not a scientist or science enthusiast, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is one of those fundamental properties of nature which means that you can measure position or momentum not both! Fortunately, this effect only becomes prominent with very small objects.

Procrastination

Remember how you spent 
                    half  An hour 
           calculating It would be wetter 
              walking  Not cycling 
double underlined It
                      theN
                           Got the bus home

The Gypsy Queen

This week we turn sixteen 
We should run away, just you and me 
I’m gonna be a gypsy queen 

You’re dreaming again, my dear josephine
You know this thing can never be 
This week we turn sixteen

You have to help me I’m burning like gasoline 
I want to be free, to dance, to swim in the sea
I’m gonna be a gypsy queen

My beloved sister this is obscene
We’re both adults now don’t you see
This week we turn sixteen 

It’s in your eyes: you know I’ve seen 
You might not have the guts to flee
I’m going to be a gypsy queen

Stay if you want and wonder what could have been 
Nothing you can say that will stop me
This week we turn sixteen
I’m going to be a gypsy queen
