"Bruce the Duck quacked so hard
That he propelled himself backwards and up onto dry land.

"For those of you taking notes,
This is a fine practical example of Newton's First Law of Motion,
Which clearly states that for every action
There is an equal and opposite reaction.

"But no matter how quickly Bruce tried to waddle away
He couldn't escape Seymore the Wolf,
Who was wearing his best pair of tennis shoes."

Weird Al's Peter and the Wolf comes up in my MP3 shuffle, my late-night writing stops for twenty-seven minutes and fifty-five seconds. Cause and effect.
