Summary
We had pi mesons, mu mesons;
Some folks thought it too few mesons,
Went out and discovered some new mesons –
Some people don't know where to stop.
Now a few mesons might do mesons
A good turn by turning to glue mesons,
But how can you use twenty-two mesons?
Some people don't down where to stop.
