Summary
Once upon a time, the world was less complex,
With fewer nervous wrecks, with lots more time for sex.
Electrons and protons were all we could afford,
They were good enough for dear old Rutherford.
Then the troubles started; they gave us, just as we know
The positron, the neutron, the mysterious neutrino.
