"The Maldacena"

You start with the brane
and the brane is BPS

Then you go near the brane
and the space is AdS

Who knows what it means
I don't I confess

Ehhhh! Maldacena!

Super Yang Mills
With very large N

Gravity on a sphere
flux without end

Who says they're the same
holographic he contends

Ehhhh! Maldacena!

Black holes used to be
a great mystery

Now we use D-brane
to compute D-entropy

And when D-brane is hot
D-free energy

Ehhhh! Maldacena!

M-theory is finished
Juan has great repute

The black hole we have mastered
QCD we can compute

Too bad the glueball spectrum
is still in some dispute
