First blood to Atlas at the Large Hadron Collider
==========================
No Higgs-Boson (God Particle) at the LHC
That key elemental particle physicists claim to exist, but which has not yet been found
-- God in a Mirror? -- (Max Hadron)
==========================
No Higgs-Boson particle today.
That Large Hadron Collider
has not been my confider.
The LHC has not yet seen the ray,
-- a glimpse of God's existence.
at 7-tera-volt 'lectro-resistance.
What's found, at any rate
Some say is just a boson's mate,
Through the Atlas-chambered meters
Some old neutrinos crept on...
With a leap of faith they lept-on
Like some Immaculate Concept-ion
They say the "missing energy" -- has glue on
Like when a cow jumps over the muon
Leaves a trace, an image in the mirror,
So maybe God was here.
