Every Z is Sacred

Every Z is sacred,

Every Z is great,

If a Z is wasted,

Austin gets irate.

Every Z is useful,

Every Z gets read,

Every Z helps us to

Earn our daily bread.

Aleph, Delphi, L3,

Store theirs anywhere;

Mother Nature loves those

Who treat Zs with more care.

Every tau is sacred,

Many taus are pronged;

Any tau is cherished

And instantly gets thronged.

Every mu pair's precious,

Every mu pair's clean,

Forward, back - we love the

Mus in our machine.

Every bhabha's perfect,

Bhabhas are divine,

Beautiful and bounteous,

They overflow offline.

Every Z is triggered,

Every Z is stored,

Every Z is golden,

A new jewel in our hoard.

Every Z is filtered,

Every Z is ROPEd,

We've got zillions more Zs

Than we ever hoped.

Let D0 measure theirs

At too low a mass,

We could make fun of them,

But that would be crass.

Every K's mysterious

As the Trinity;

Who gave them permission

To violate CP?

Every cosmic's background,

Every cosmic's fierce;

We must guard 'gainst cosmics

That through OPAL do pierce.

Every "Higgs"'s an outcast,

Every "Higgs" is damned,

He who finds a "Higgs" is

In a dustbin crammed.

Every multihadron

Is a bloody mess;

How many we lose is

Anyone's best guess.

Every Z is massive,

Its decays are weak;

Wish that LEP would make us

More of them off-peak.

Every Z is sacred,

Every Z is great,

If a Z is wasted,

Rolf gets quite irate.
