Time Trip

By Sam Marston

I built a machine for travlin through time,
a manipulator of space, my own design.
I took my chance,
grabbed asbestos-lined pants,
and hopped into the eternal twine.

I met the inventor DeVenchi,
I ment Napolean, short Frenchi,
I sat in the rain
with my friend Mark Twain,
And smelled Ghengis Khans Stenchi.

I went to Shakespear's playes to heckle.
Met that dude who's on the nickel,
Played cards with Jesus,
I had four threesus,
and beat him out of a sheckle.

I had a big lunch with president Taft,
Convinced Bill Clinton to dodge the Draft,
Gave some candy
To a starving Ghandi,
And rode in a post-Titantic raft.

I saw the un ruined ruins of ancient Rome,
Then I turned around and went home.
I enjoyed time travlin a bunch,
but its time for lunch,
and my momma is makin calzones.
