Apocalypse  Blues

    Up boys and atom,  let the flying protons collide;
    Up boys and atom, we're in for a light speed ride;
    We'll have a smashing time of it till we hit the downward  slide.

      Quarks and anti-quarks we know,
      mesons, pions all in row,
      photons are old hat.

    Here around the Hadron there's one  thing that we lack:
    knowing  if this will result at  last in a hole that's big and black,
    But we'll have a smashing time of it as we take the unknown track.

      Baryons,  bosons in we'll throw,                        
      watch the screens begin to glow
      (and maybe Schroedinger's cat ).

    So up boys and atom,  let's all join in the fun,
    aim that big  accelerator,  it's just another gun
    enough to smash the universe before we're good and done .
