That Cow! The Pigs! Time’s Up!

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
