NO TIME MACHINES
Now, tongue in cheek,
I’ll tell why there are no time machines.
It isn’t that no one ever came back
From the future to see us,
Although that is still an OK reason
For no time machines being possible.
Nor is it that there can’t be
A future going on somewhere ahead of time,
Since that’s a fine one, too.
It is that women prevented time machines
From being invented;
For, every time a man said,
“Honey, I’m going out to the garage
To work on my time machine”
The woman in his life would reply
“That’s impossible, dear.
Stop wasting your time.
There is housework to be done
And grass to be cut.”
The man would still sneak out
To try to work on his time machine,
But the woman would find him
And once again say something like,
“That’s impossible, nut head.
Get in here and do something useful!”
And that’s why there are no time machines!
