Progressives

My glasses are progressives So my vision can adjust; Whether I am close or distant, I see everything I must. Yet a thought came to me suddenly – How special it would be If progressives had the power To cross decades when we see. Tilt your head into your childhood, Focus straight into the now; With a slight alignment left or right, Last year would pop up – wow! Just imagine all the prospects If, by staring, we could get To a vision of the future time That hasn’t happened yet. Now, I’d spring for such progressives – They’d be magical, indeed; But I guess they’d only work If also, they would help us read!
