The strong, the weak, EM, and
grav
are not the only ones we have.
The fifth and strongest basic
force
I claim is comedy, of course.
This force's boson, I shall
call
the lafon, not to be banal.
It has a spin that's integer,
but ultra-huge and dizzier.
The lafon’s mass is still in
doubt,
though folks have tried to find
it out.
It seems immune from gravity,
yet often falls disastrously.
Some lafons carry charge or
charm,
and some set off bad taste
alarms.
They travel at the speed of
light
or sometimes fail to take their
flight.
Most quantum folks who've had
this thought
contend that, in addition,
ought
another particle comport,
neutrino of the lafon sort.
This poem's a lafino.
