Parley-Vous Parallel Universe

I pushed the red button
The one that said don't push the red button
And ended up on the other side
Of something out of nothing

I was in another world
Another space and time
Where I appeared to see what looked like me
As I, me, and mine all intertwined

My guess is this is the universe
If I ever had my doubts
Parallel as far as I can tell
Or somewhere there about

When suddenly I walked up to me
Mono to Mono, Man to Man
Since I am me and he is me
Should we hug or just shake hands

That's when I asked myself to dinner
Where we had a pleasant time
I found out through all of this
That I'm a pretty likable guy

He as me picked up the tab
And me as he paid for the tip
As I insisted through all of this
That I'd get all of it

We talked about what I enjoyed
And much to my surprise
Everything it is I like
So do I

As we were both eating our just deserts
This info happened about by chance
That this wasn't at all a parallel universe
But the Southern most tip of France

I was wondering while I was out with myself
Why he was speaking French
Now that I think about it
It all makes perfectly good sense...

If there was a stop sign up ahead and you heard Rod Sterlings famous line, "You have just entered the twilight zone!" Just kidding Mike; another unique one my friend!:)

Loved it. ..it...it...it...it. Is there an echo somewhere? Who knows. Maybe it reached the parameters of your parallel universe. Or maybe it's just bouncing of the walls in your head. God knows this writing is not dead.
