THE TIME TRAVELLER'S GARDEN

My first journey had to be spot on time-wise
Otherwise I would not have been able
To return to my exact starting point.

You notice that I didn’t say placewise
It is just that my particular vehicle
Only deals with time – not space.

So however far I go forward, or back
I am always in the same place.

My chosen mode of transport
Is mobile in the sense that
I can put it in the back of my van

And travel that way
Anywhere I like.

As you can imagine
I am in great demand

Especially from archaeologists
And the forces of law and order
In fact I often turn work away.

What you have read so far
Will probably make you want
To ask me lots of questions.

Sorry, I’m can’t answer them
I simply don’t have the time.
