In a jiffy

Ye might be feather light, lean or leafy, You scarce can a spot kiss in a jiffy, Till a bird be of flight That flies faster than light, Jiffy is a birdie a bit iffy. ________________________ Jiffy is equal to about 33.3504 picoseconds (one trillionth of a second). Now, to reach anywhere in a jiffy one must travel one centimetre faster than the speed of light. Can you? Tongue-in-cheek | 13.03.2017 | humour

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.
