About the Poem

A poke which will appeal particularly to lovers of physics. I'm just waiting for the poem that starts 'There was a proton, a neutron and an electron'.

Bar None

A neutron walks into a bar
"I'd like a beer" he asked
The barman serves up a beer
Promptly as he was tasked
"How much will that be?"
Asks the neutron
"For you? No charge."
