Pure Silliness
Ode to the Perplexingness of the Multiverse

Found out how to go backwards in time

Then said "How can it be that still I'm?"
On the Dangers of Incautious Research and Development
A scientist, slightly insane
Created a robotic brain

There once was a quantum machine
Who discovered that life is a dream
He informed me I'm not
quite as real as I thought
which impelled me to break down and scream
