Running Off to My Time Machine

Going backward in time could be fun
But the past seems too old. It is done.
And that future caress
Will not feel any less
If I wait patiently and don’t run.

  Thank you, draliman! If I had a time machine I don’t know what I’d do with it.

  Thank you, Meritings! Patience requires patience. And my time machine doesn’t work anyway.

If I was given the time machine option, I wonder if I would have patience enough to wait!
Great limerick, Frank.
