Current Events Poem: Time Travel Declared Impossible
Time Travel Is Not Possible, Scientists Say
They're saying that time travel cannot be done
Which ruins a lot of our novelists' fun.
But really, it's not all that bad.
It's a total relief
To dispel the belief
That I might take a trip
On a time-travel ship
To, say, seventeen-eighty
---And meet a young lady
Who thinks I'm okay
(In an alien way)
And, through later events
That make crystalline sense
(But are not, looking back,
All that easy to track)
... I become my own grandfather's dad.
