Time Machine

Let me ask you, what if you had a time machine?
Which time and place would you most like to see?
Change the past or see how life will be.
Think for you, now here’s what’s right for me.

I’d……
Include offers, to get Jackson a new doctor.
Make sure Columbine kids aren’t pushed into school lockers.
Persuade Kennedy, not to attend the Dallas motorcade,
And stop Lincoln from thinking he has to go to plays.
Get a new fan club president for Selena Perez
Keep Patsy Cline’s flight plans, but change up Aaliyah’s instead.
Tell Billy Mays and Chris Farley not to snort cocaine,
And remove all the shells from the guns of Kurt Cobain.
Un-brainwash those who think Jim Jones might be heaven sent,
And make the government take serious the nine-eleven threats.
Forget the heightened evidence, that time is evident,
I’d go back and change Al Gore to the likely president.
Offer clean versions to boost up Heath’s courage,
And remove the barb from the sea serpent below Steve Irwin.
Hire a new man to plan the scene for Brandon Lee,
And remove every cancer gene, Farah Fawcett had to keep.
Set free Joan of Arc, and stand up for Rosa Parks,
Then make sure that Owen Hart’s rope is taught.
Make sure Natalie Wood doesn’t go swimming on that day,
Prevent the DC Sniper, Fort Hood, and Timothy McVeigh.
Make Buddy Holly, Valens and Bopper schedule their flight wrong,
To leave no reason for Don McLean’s American Pie song.

Now I ask, what would you do with a time machine?
What time and place would you now like to see?
Change the past for those who still have life to breathe.
Choose for you, that’s what’s right for me.
