The day I set my alarm for eight

I set my alarm for eight 

Not seven 

This task I could procrastinate 

But either way, I won't be late

I hop into my bright blue bed 

Catching another hour of sleep 

Because I set my alarm ahead

My fluffy blankets make me warm 

An hour more 

Because I’ll get up at A time 

one hour 

out of the norm!

Beep Beep Beep

Looks like it's the end of my extra sleep

I rejoice my dreams

 but when I glare out my window 

I see laser beams

And flying cars 

And Future detectives smoking future cigars

I was so surprised I almost lost my future silver hat

Wait what's that!

I look and see my future cat 

And his name is future Matt!

I go to make a cup of Joe

But instead of a cup of Joe 

I see a ruby red  drink called

“Loony-flow”

I look a deep breath 

“There's nothing to fear”

There must be a way out of here

I put my feet on my doormat

and said “bye” to my future cat 

And as I was about to go out my future cat said “farewell”

I let out a yell

This thing must be from hell

And in my house, it will dwell

I quickly opened the door and hopped into my flying car

and said, “where do they sell time machines?”

“At Rabin's bloblings”

Take me there

by all means!

Then my car took off into the sky 

way way up high

Up until we reached skyway 59

We headed North

I wasn’t even sure if I was on earth

Then we pulled up just in time

Before I turned mad as a mime

The machine cost me no more the I dime 

But I still had a question: why do I rhyme?

In the machine there where many buttons 

one which said “Go back to your time”

I clicked it 

And thought: was I the only one that this happened to

Or is this new

It mustn't be because of that button

Then I was back home all of a sudden 

And I was greeted 

by Matt

My non-future cat.

But then I got a thought

I sprinted toward the kitchen

And I almost tripped over my non-futre kitten

Then I saw it 

My non-future cup of joe

I sipped my steaming hot cup

I warmed my head

mmm the flavor

it’s hazelnut spread

But now what to do with this time machine

Maybe sell it to England's queen

or give it to NASA as a gift 

This is the biggest thing to happen

scene the continental drift

I could be rich beyond my wildest dreams 

I could be the president's, right-hand man 

And together we could eat raisin-bran

I’ll become Bill Nye's biggest fan

Or I could go on adventures 

Maybe even make future dentures

Well I’ll do the right thing 

I’ll bring it to NASA indeed 

I’ll get the next flight to Washington DC!

I drove to the airport 

Not a second to waste

TSA looked at me weird when I brought it trough 

But I said, “It’s a type of art taste.”

and “You're being very offense, So go at tomato paste”

And you bet you that got me detained

And after an hour or two

Of being chained they let me through

And somehow I was able to convince them it was a carry-on 

I sat in my seat and let out a yawn

I slept from Boston to Austin

Don’t look at me the route wasn't my choice

I got to the HQ

And told them my story 

And who believed?

Very few

But I showed my machine to one man named stan

Stan and I decided to venture through time 

After showing Stan my future house 

And saw my future cat 

had caught a future mouse

We decided to go to the past 

And find out what happened to Roanoke

Then the time machine spoke:

“On our way to Roanoke, also in this time machine please don’t smoke”

When we got to Roanoke 

Some people saw or machine 

And mass panic broke out 

looks like were what happened to Roanoke

Me and Stan

Went on adventures like for all our lives

We were time heros

We were like a traveling batman.

I dedicate this to dr.seuss who is an inspiration to writers and readers and kids and adults alike. He truly sparks the imagination of everyone and can relight the childlike wonder that is buried deep inside every adult. From “oh the places you'll go” to “the cat in the hat” Dr.suess can turn a candle of curiosity into a bonfire of imagination.
