John Slides Through a Wormhole

John Slides Through a Wormhole By Elton Camp Disbelief you must willingly suspend In order for this fantasy poem to begin A wormhole, points in time does connect In an instant move 100 years please expect John was living a century in our past, But into the year 2012, he was cast A passenger plane roared right overhead John screamed and though he'd be dead "How can a thing that heavy stay in the sky! Even more amazing, it seems it can fly." A sleek car passed for poor John to see "That thing for sure ain't no Model T." When a television set he finally saw, John's mouth gaped open with such awe To a public library, he then made his way To see what had happened since his day World wars, atomic bombs and radar Showed how the world had come so far When the president's picture he spied "A ***** president! Somebody has lied!" Gay marriage John then read about And gave a loud, disbelieving shout Men on the Moon was next he read "That's beyond belief," is what he said The entrance to the wormhole he did seek "Of this future world, I must never speak." "It wouldn't do any good & here's why: Anyone I tell will swear that it's a lie."
