There once was a man from the land of Before
Who was always content and did not ask for more
And his wife always asked why he lived in the past
His reply, "I just never want to get bored."

His wife met a man who was from Today land
This man even called himself 'sir'
He had money and houses and bought her nice blouses
And made other men insecure

So the man asked his wife why she looked so depressed
She looked back and replied, "Do you see how I'm dressed? I'm done with your time, it was simple back then.
I don't want your love, I'm leaving with him"

So she went to the future, expecting the best
But the new man was bankrupt and they had even less
She went back to the past when she came to her senses
But her husband wasn't there, he had gone to the Present

To the present she ran, with her arms open wide
When she finally got there, her husband had died
So the lesson we learn here is on of a kind
'Do not bend  yourself to the pressure of time'
