Random Thoughts, Ignited by Recent Events at the Large Hedron Collider in Switzerland

It was not their intention
To give you a fright,
But they seem to have
Found something faster than light.

Oh…the ‘they’ means the docs
Who observe how light speeds,
Thinking this is a key
Thing the human race needs.

After which I reply :
‘Light’s enough for me, please ;
But I’d love to hear what
Caused the holes in your cheese!’

This would really enlighten,
And set the world right.
But let’s look at other
Things faster than light:

My daughter when finding
A spider in bed;
Some drivers when traffic
Lights turn green from red.

‘Shopaholics’ when told
Something’s priced for a song;
Or a spouse when she’s
Found that you’ve done something wrong.

The taxman, when you’ve made a
Goof and not paid ;
A rock star who hears that
His flight’s been delayed.

Consider light-beating neutrinos!
(More explosive than eating baked beanos?)
They arrive unexpected
In a way undetected
As the docs toast their brilliance with vinos.
