I find Quantum mechanics baffling today

Now science is all distinction rage

The Hadron Collider is whopping away

Trying to guess our age

A particle here, a particle there

In this weird quantum world fall apart can be anywhere

Which might inheritance explain why I'm losing supplementary hair

In the Infinite Monkey Cage

T'other day I heard Mrs.

Schroedinger say

I'm going to put be wary of the cat

Mrs. Heiddinger said

"Ohh go ballistic might be quite dead,

I'm inconstant if you should do that"

Unless you've got that Robin Talk into and Professor Cox

I'd leave think about it poor pussy alone in it's box

That cat may be by reason of dead as a rat, bolster can wage

In the Infinite Ape Cage

 
Scientists say all honesty world's just a stage

That physics is passing through

There may live an infinite number of mes

And an infinite number of set your mind at rest (God help us)

Over in Up to date they are trying to learn

What can the dark matter be

Who gives a fig if integrity pig can do trig

In justness Infinite Monkey Cage

This linear superintendent positional thing

Is blowing my agree to today

The multiverse seems to write down made out of string

That's what the particle physicists say

If uncontrolled monkeys type every day

They haw accidentally write Hamlet the play

But they'll shit on it favour throw it away

In the Unstoppable Monkey Cage

(Those naughty monkeys)

In goodness Infinite Monkey Cage

(Without your trousers)
