Once there was a Lepton
A Lepton!
A Lepton!
Once there was a Lepton!
A Charged Particle!

Now who's this lepton you might ask?
Put your int'lect to the task!
It can move quite very fast!
Antiparticle is in the past!

I'll try to give you another clue
If you see one you might see two.
Hiding in their lowest shell
Does any of this ring a bell?

Bouncing up to a higher rung
Catching a photon just for fun
Droping back to a lower state
Sending a photon to its fate.

Hiding from within its cloud
Position is completely shroud
If you know the exact speed
Where it went none can heed.

Quantum is as Quantum does
From Atomic giant to querky Quark
All these objects are quite the buzz
Upon the universal tuning fork.

It's partner is a nucleon
Dancing within the nucleus
Trading gluons with its buddy
Who is neutral, did you study?

Why this flighty Fermion
Is indeed the E-lectron!
And its partner you'd have guessed
Is a proton in its hadron vest.

Positron in Positronium
Spining round its Electronium
If they get too juxtaposium
Vanishing in Gamma Rosium

Once there was a Lepton
A Lepton!
A Lepton!
Once there was a Lepton!
A Charged Particle!

I loved this one too. This may be the way to finally get physics into my headbone.
