sit still as the leaves fall from the trees
did you listen for the noise on landing
                                     and the breeze
gravity is such a force when a leaf falls
                          of course it accelerates
                          at nine point eight m/s/s
Newton said it first,
                               Einstein had it right,
watching the leaves free fall within sight
                                                           ­      man is the pinnacle of God's creation,
        physics gives reason, for our delight.

m/s/s = metres per second per second = an expression of acceleration
