The News In Poetry Day 20: The Large Thingy Whatsit.

http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-21941666

They did something to make the Large Hadron Collider better.
I have no clue what this means. But I bet all the physicists’ families are bragging about it…

Our Lesley’s eldest is doing ever so well
She’s a scientist you know.
Very big in very small things
So she tells me.

They made this machine, you know.
Underground in Italy
Ooh, it is lovely there, the sun…!
And the important thing is
Their one’s the best one of all.

But I do worry about our Katy.
It’s all very well, I says to her
You saying the newspapers
Are talking a lot of nonsense
About your lot finding bits of God
And causing reality to explode…
But suppose the Mail HAS got it right.
Well…
The idea of her right up close
To the end of the universe like that…

Ooh, it goes right through me.

We’re all ever so proud though.

They’ve had an upgrade you know.
At her office.

That’s good, isn’t it?

I think that’s good.
