how i spent my summer vacations

when we started summer we went to the store
we bought wood one hammer and we started to work

my friend was determined to go back in time
so we built a contraption which we called time device

with no levers and buttons just a seat and a clock
with no switches or dials, its controlled with your thoughts

so we got together and discussed what to do
"let's go meet some pirates and their captain and crew"
"no, let's go to the sixties and we'll fly to the moon"

"no, let's get to know indians in a cool wild west battle
with some cowboys with lassoes protecting their cattle"

for hours we debated thinking of what to see
let's all ask our parents and ask what they think

so we went to our houses and our parents we quizzed
"to the past" one suggested "to find how to get rich"

another one mentioned going back to high school
and take care of the bullies who thought were so cool

all our parents together could not reach an agreement
"but go ask the priest" was their mutual opinion

so we went to our churches and our questions we raised
"go back to the dark ages and prevent the crusades"

"go back eighty years and prevent world war two
to stop hitler from rising and to save all the jews"

all religions combined could not find a solution
"let's go ask our presidents" was our obvious conclusion

but the french and the russians could never agree
and a big battle started by mutual decree
and the english and germans who thought were so strong
invaded each other with their big guns and bombs

and last in the battle came the united states
whose opinion was missing in this bloody debate

and we waited all summer to hear their accord
but waiting for grown ups we quickly got bored

we can't wait for grown ups to hurry up and be done
it's summer, school's over and we want to have fun
