The cow that jumped
Over the moon
Never made it back
Burned up in ruin
.
Then pigs fly
Way too fast, unsafe
They come back as bacon
Because the æther strafes
.
Time, too, goes airborne
Speeding up my life
But pays a frictional tariff
Air resistance is a knife
.
Getting the cow, the pig, and time
Up, up, and away, intact
Is the easy part of the physics
The real trick's getting them back
