I had a friend whose mechanical aptitude was nothing short of sublime And when it comes to the physical sciences, he was quite thoroughly versed Over drinks he informed me he'd built a device That could transport a person through time And he asked if I'd help him to test his invention by taking the risk to be first And of course, I agreed, I mean who wouldn't jump at the chance to revisit the past To travel through time like explorers in history, way off the beaten path, way off Think of it, you could buy bitcoins for pennies, return with a fortune amassed Or you could save 6 million jews from the ovens by killing an infant named Adolph I got in the vehicle, strapped on a helmet and made sure that my seat belt was snug It smoked and it whirred and it made lots of noises and spun like a carnival ride My friend warned me he couldn't gauge where'd I'd travel to due to a programming bug It crashed to the ground and I started inspecting myself to ensure I'd not died I opened the hatch and was greeted by hundreds of savages, scantily clad It was clearly apparent that one was the leader, I offered my hand, "how are you sir?" They raised up their spears in defense of their leader Who asked "are you a god, good or bad?" I said "i am no god and I mean you no harm, I am a man from the future" At first they seemed welcoming, happy to have me, they asked of the future enthused I told them we sit on a seat we call toilet, it carries our waste through a pipe That flows to a waste water treatment facility where it is cleaned and reused And rather than leaves we have rolls of soft paper We use when we're done and we wipe I told them that we live in houses and don't sweat in summer nor in winter shiver Our heat and light come from electrons, these particles floating that none of us see But they thought me a god making promises to them that now I would have to deliver And just then, their leader arose and was forcefully speaking directly to me: "We want the things you describe, you're a god There's a way you can give us these isn't there?" I apologized to him, "I don't have the knowledge I'd need to build these things for you" But this explanation was not satisfactory, I was then taken as prisoner You will build us these lights and these toilets you speak of We will keep you here until you do But I can't invent electricity even a toilet to me seems complex How does the poo and pee move through the pipe for great distances Miles and miles? Instead of learning such things I spent all of my free time in bars hunting drunk girls for sex I'm just a monkey who pushes down buttons Flips switches, swipes right and turns dials So, If you're given the chance to learn how the world works I suggest you perhaps do Don't be like me and expend all your free time in drinking and other tomfoolery I don't know their customs, I don't hunt or fish, I'm a prisoner now they throw scraps to They've taken apart my time travel machine and wear some of the parts like it's jewelry
