So then, imagine Vern Archer's distress
When daughter Olga asked, did he possess
In his Felix the Cat-like bag of tricks
A time travel thing she could use to fix
One ill-starred moment in her distant past
When it seemed her entire fate was recast!

For Vern's son's wife had abandoned their kids,
Missing eighteen years of living they did
While she herself was hidden far away
Tending a louche bar in Moosic, P.A.
"I figure Archer's own mad scientist
Would know if a time travel thing exists!"
