Summary
Brush up on parity, start testing it now.
Brush up on parity, and your colleagues you will wow.
Just you mention a pi dot sigma,
And they'll think you've cleared up an enigma.
If the weak interaction's your sector,
You can sell 'em on axial plus vector,
And if you can observe a helicity
You'll attain to the utmost felicity.
