Particle Zoo Poem by Margaret Alice

Particle Zoo



A theory about
exploding atoms
in an atomic blast
proof of particles
that cannot last

Scientists used to claim
atoms should only contain
three types of particles

But when atoms were smashed to bits
new types of particles formed
different 'flavours' of
different kinds of 'quarks'
what a lark!
'A quark for Mister Mark...'

Now it is true:
there exists
a real particle zoo!
