Setting Sail in Time


Setting Sail in Time

 

I need to go sailing in time.

For I’m sometimes tired of the present.

Sometime it’s exciting to sail back in time

Where mankind once had been.

And to sail expectantly into the future, now and again.

But of course I will always come back to the present,

For that’s the most pleasant sea to sail.

And if I want to experience the maximum of pleasure,

If I seek it in the present, I will definitely not fail.
