A time machine could be useful
I can undo my mistakes,there’s lots
go to school when I’m told to
not scratch my chicken pox
brush my teeth much better
eat all the right food
do my flamin’homework
wear sensible shoes
see the branch I tripped over
not set the house on fire
or stroke the dog that bit me?
marry a cheating liar
too many to mention
real whoppers!some have been
would be kinder to some people
wack! the ones that where mean.
then when that’s all sorted
I’d poke my nose into the future
probably wont like it much?
I’m an inquisitive creature
check out the lottery numbers
make sure I write it all down
come back with a mission
then really”go to town”
have myself a flutter,
win myself loads of cash,
no need to wander through time now
head for the sun at last,
the future will be sorted
full of misbehaviour and fun
wont need to relive or try to fix it
but don’t tell anyone what I’ve done
