The Day I Discovered A Time Machine

it was a challenge



and

my first act was to change the settings

so

I couldn't find out too much

If I land in a world where I'm six foot under

I'd rather

not know about it



Then I had to do something

about

the habit I developed

of

betting on every horse race I could

find



I want to do something special

and the desire

to get rich beyond my wildest dreams

shouldn't

be what it's all about.

There's

so much I could be doing. So many places





So many people I could be bringing back from the dead.
