Time Machine


I sat in the time machine, went to somewhere after two thousand six,

Sorry mom, I will be back! Just some things I need to fix,

The machine whirred and spun, finally the mist was gone.


I was in a little classroom, I heard laughter,

Hey don't laugh at that boy! you know nothing of is genius mind, soon he will be stronger and faster!

His eyes dry now as he looked at me perplexed.


Kid, I have to go, but don't let anyone say you are a worthless fool,

Let that teacher yell, let her bang the bench, soon you will be out of this school.

I gave a stare to the girl who teased him, I now had to go.


I reached where the boy was playing tennis soon, he was having no fun,

Hey kid! don't let the coach tell you you are too chubby to run!

Ah, if only they knew he jump rope 5000 a time non stop when he grew up.


I reached where the boy had extra classes for math,

Its all right kid! don't let the numbers make you think you deserve the teacher's wrath!

I am sure he wondered who I was, everywhere telling him strange things.


I reached his house, playing merrily in the garden he was, talking to himself,

Hey kid its me again! look at the way you make stories with your toys, its a world in itself!

Can I play with you? for once I saw a big smile on his sweet round face.


He took me upstairs, showed me a story he had written, if only he knew he could rhyme,

I am so proud of you little one! recite this on your class next time!

They love you kid! everyone downstairs does!


I heard some familiar sounds downstairs, I knew I had to leave him alone now.

Alright kid! don't let anyone tell you its bad to cry, don't let them tell you you did not try, you will get through it all, does not matter how!

I had not forgotten what I came for, before going I gave him a nice tight hug.
