TIME YOU WATCHED YOUR WEIGHT

"Hi!" smiled Helen
of Troy
"You're my kind of guy!"

"But you're dead!"
I stammered
"Have been - for some time !"

"Nothing a little
time travelling
can't put right!"

"I mean are you
for real?"
"Try me!" she said

"Right! Do I
sleep on the side
nearest the wall or wot?"

"Now wait just a minute!
You're a woman
made of words!"

"Hey don't be such
a shy boy. . .I'll
show you for sure!"

there was a loud bleeping
red lights flashing on
the time machine on her hip

"****!" she swore
"I didn't put enough
drachmas in!"

and before I could
give her some
she was gone

she never made it
back to my time
maybe it was for the best

she had a thing
for chips which she
ate and ate and ate

I even wrote a ditty
about her
chip eating habit

"Is this the face
that munched
a thousand chips ?"

ahhh the dangers
of overeating when
one is time travelling
