The Standard Model
By Joe Pivetti

Note: anyons are really only two-dimensional quasiparticles.

When you want a strong force holding your model together, you might get more gluon. The pear shaped boy who upstaged that strange first grader with his spin, Isn't just a heavy bottom elementary quark, he's a down right charm. One tau seems like a lot of dough for just two pis, but if they're antitaus, it's karma. When the cow trio sang, they got their muon. While those who didn't dig their vibe put their antimuon. When the cap'n couldn't fathom his course, he called for his gauge boson. For weak force jobs, the cap'n kept under his hat, little bosons W and Z. Vetoing redwood saplings is just a bunch of neutrinos. To teach Human Interface Graphics gravely at sea, Cap'n might call for the Higgs boson. When Dick Van Dyke put money in the bank as a Petry, was it d' poistron? Mary Tyler Moore worries the check might bounce, so of the deposit, she asks "hadron?" And if Dick runs for office, Mary might say, "electron." If unsure of a salamander, Mary Might ask "neutron?" In Paris, speaking in a professional tone, one might say "proton." An ESL student, of a corporate leader, might ask "what fermion?" When a rider needed to make a particular bus, he lepton. If you see a dead hymenopteran on my porch, it might be an antilepton. A hungry diner at a Vietnamese noodle soup shop might get his photon. Without anyon base, no matter the dimensions, a fractional stat won't score a run.
