my grandpa, may god rest his soul
enjoyed cigars and alcohol
I liked him fine, but I have plans
and science makes its own demands
time traveled to the past, bought stocks
but had to test the paradox
and so I went and shot him dead
but I was not unmade -- instead
returned in time for dinner...but
turns out that grandma was a slut
