Tale of the Time Machine ©  by Andrew Neil Maternick September 2010

Door goes bam, sky starts to spill
Uncle Sam, found my still
Was on the back porch, guitar strumming
I grabbed my torch, and took off runnin'

Uncle Sam, how'd you find my Still
I ran and ran, fell down a hill
Hound dogs bearing down, are they mean?
Answer never came around, I found a time machine

No time for pride when it's do or die
I hopped inside and figured I'd try

What now? Oh my, this can't be true
Don't know how, don't know why I did what I'll do
Holy cow, when am I? I have no clue
Same place, different time, the sky's now blue

So I stepped out my time machine
Heared a shout, saw people far from mean
They motioned me, to come to the village
Was blessed to see, what my forefathers would pillage
Close now, I hear a beating drum
Turns out, rhythm's a common tongue
In a hurry we arrived the pow wow just began
Old worry never survived, it was time for fun 

Many words could not say the least
Flying birds, in a sky of peace

There was a dance after the feast 
This was my chance to loose the leash

I dropped my pride and let it die
I hopped inside and figured out why

Figured out why and what I mean 
I said goodbye time machine
