Ohh, here in me mad world
Everything happens at the speed of light
That\'s 186,000 miles per second to you and me!
I was thinking - what to do
If we ever have an extra second in the year
As we did a while ago?
I wanted to spread it out
Not spend it all at once!
I wanted to go to the Moon
But that\'s 238,000 miles away
It would take too long - about 1.3 seconds
I\'ve not got 0.3 of a second to spare - far too much time!
Then another 1.3 seconds to get home again
Plus all the time I actually stay on the Moon
Well, I\'ve suggestions - you got any too?
In that second I could maybe:
Eat 849 pork pies
Drink 643 sherries - with water added!
Read 846 poems - swoony ones!
Then Fido me watchdog will bark 846 times
Or take 257 trips to Australia and back
Or make 674 visits to the 99p Shop
Cos the Pound Shop is far too expensive!
Why, I would save £6.74 in a second
Makes sense to me!
Or watch this clip 842 times and spot Fido in it.....
I\'ve not worked out if all these things would be possible
I\'ve not done the calculations
Oh it\'s a fine old life in this old land
Cloud Cuckoo Land, that is! heehee
