In a Jiffy

Feather light let ye be or leafy, A spot scarce can kiss in a jiffy Unless a bird of flight Racing at speed of light, Now, a chance it seems more than iffy. _________________________________ A jiffy is equal to about 33.3504 picoseconds (one picosecond is one-trillionth of a second). Now, to reach anywhere in a jiffy one must travel one centimetre faster than the speed of light. Tongue-in-cheek | 13.03.2017 |

A science lesson in a limerick....my god....are you daft??? Nicely done...I had always thought the a "jiffy" was just one of those slangy colloquialisms we toss about.
