Erwin's Other Animals

from Helen Arney at Geek Pop by Helen Arney

lyrics

Erwin Schrodinger, physicist and lover
Famous for imagining a half dead cat
This cat was in his mind, but he left a trail behind
Of all the other animals that he got at…

Young Erwin took his sister’s hamster and he put it in a box
(yes he did, in the name of science)
He taped it up carefully and wrote “schrodinger’s hamster” on the top
(you can probably see where this is going already)
He tiptoed out of their front door
And threw it off the 18th floor
Now we won’t let little Erwin near the cat

Erwin took his school’s white mice and put them in a ziplock bag
(or the late 19th century German equivalent – das ziplock bag?)
Hid them in the canteen freezer, behind the Turkey Twizzler packs
(Ah – if only they’d had Jamie Oliver back then to sort them out)
He came back for them at half past five
But they’d already been served up in a pie
We won’t let little Erwin near the cat

Despairing Mrs Schrodinger took our little Erwin to the zoo
(It seemed like such a good idea at the time)
To shake him out of this mammalicidal phase he’s going through
(She genuinely thought it was going to help)
But with poison pellets in his pants
The zebras never stood a chance
Now we won’t let little Erwin near the cat

Now you know his evil ways
Would you still give him a Nobel Prize?
Erwin Rudolf Schrodinger
Serial pet murderer
If you see him near a stray dog
Call the RSPCA but
Don’t let little Erwin near the cat
