The sharpest cuts come not from burns, but freeze;
Not molecule-thin tears of a laser
But laughs, laughs about the slicing of the cheese.

Though wise men laughed and seemed to please
Their minds with thoughts of cheese death rays astir
They laugh, laugh about the slicing of the cheese.

Good men, who keep their joking down with ease,
And ablate photons with a UV blast, aver
The sharpest cuts come not from burn but freeze.

Bold men who dare Wisconsinites to tease
And succumb to headline cheese puns' lure
Laugh, laugh about the slicing of the cheese.

Blind men who by laser light now see
Whose world has opened up to snowy blur
Know sharper cuts come not from burn but freeze.

And you, the science world of committees
Who curse or bless and allot student fees,
The sharpest cuts come not from burn but freeze;
Don't laugh, laugh about the slicing of the cheese.
