The Neutrino

Neutrinos, they are very small.

Neutrinos, they are very small.

They have no charge and have no mass

And do not interact at all.

To them, through which they simply pass,

Like dustmaids down a drafty hall

Or photons through a sheet of glass.

They snub the most exquisite gas,

Ignore the most substantial wall

Cold-shoulder steel and sounding brass,

Insult the stallion in his stall

And, scorning barriers of class,

Infiltrate you and me! Like tall

And painless guillotines, they fall

Down through your heads into the grass.

At night, they enter at Nepal

And pierce the lover and his lass

From underneath the bed you call

It wonderful; I call it crass.
