The complicated things he does have no apparent cause;
He baffles the determinist, and drives him to despair.

Schrödinger’s cat’s a mystery cat, he’s given to random decisions;
His mass is slightly altered by a cloud of virtual kittens;
The vacuum fluctuations print his traces in the air.
But if you try to find him, the quantum cat’s not there!

Schrödinger’s cat’s a mystery cat, he’s very small and light;
And if you try to pen him in, he tunnels out of sight;
So when the cruel scientist confined him in a box;
With poison-capsules, triggered by bizarre atomic clocks.

He wasn’t alive, he wasn’t dead, or half of each, I swear;
That when they fixed his eigenstate–he simply wasn’t there!
