Velociraptor

the time machine: its to and fro
I'm used to it -- a bit of glow
one moment I'm in ancient Rome
another and I stumble home

the problem: nothing close to Now
they're scared of any paradox
and so I'm yet to figure how
I can invest in certain stocks

the butterfly effect, to me
is nothing but a theory
try as I might I haven't seen
a change when I go in between

and so one night I change the dial
go back -- but just a little while
invest in stocks that won't decline
and now my feathers really shine
