it's all about the change baby
and the rate of change with time
know the changing property
differentiate and show with a prime
call that its derivative
it ain't that sublime
a thing moves
from a to b
it may have done so
circuitously
but displacement be the shortest measure
from where it was to where it is
not much room for creativity
the first derivative is velocity
which on further differentiation
(why don't we call it derived ?
but that's just an aside)
gives acceleration
moving to the order third
we get what's called jerk
also known as jolt
and 'tis the reason
when the bus stops
gotta grab hold
fourth is jounce
or snap as with sticks
then comes crackle
and pop at six
seventh is lock
in the lingo of physics
there's one more that i know of
the eighth is called drop
and that is where they stop
it may seem a lot
but all and more is experienced
simply driving around the block.
