BACK TO THE FUTURE...EH...NOW!

So today's the day
that Marty McFly

set the controls for
Back to the Future

so here I are
lost in time and

talking to that guy wot wrote that book that
now wot the dickens was his name

Charles...yes that's it
in his cups and going on 'n' on 'bout:

“Little Red Riding Hood was my first love.
I felt that if I could have married Little Red Riding Hood, I should have known perfect bliss.”

Gawd...going back in time to talk
to a favourite author

can be a bit of a bore

"...was my first love
hic...perfect bliss!"

"Charlie..." I tell him
"I can call you Charlie can't !"

"As Jerry Lee once said to me. . ."
I told him

“If the Lord made anything better than a woman
he kept it for himself.”

Marty drives by
asks if I want a lift

I leave Mr. Dickens
to his fairy tale romance

(affairs with fictional characters
never do work out)

I hop into that iconic red DeLorean DMC-12 automobile

back to my present

and the future that is
now.
