\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>The Time App.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I have invented a \u2018time app.\u2019<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

What do you think of that?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Go back in time a little bit.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

15 min., 30 min., up to 2 hrs.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Lost precious time is now ours.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I tested out the beta app.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I was driving like a bat.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Soon, red lights came flashing.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He was behind me, not passing.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He said he had me on radar.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Going faster than a falling star.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Just before he started writing.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I pushed the app. Like lightening,<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I was driving 15 min. earlier.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I slowed down, just to be sure.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Soon, I saw him behind a thicket.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He was squirming to give a ticket.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I went by at the legal speed limit.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

His radar was on me for a minute.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I never saw him after that.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Saved myself a bunch of crap.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

What if going back caused a problem?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Changing things may not solve them.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I could make a mint off this.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It would be a hit, but it could go amiss.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The ending could be tragic, you see.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

This could be the end of me.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

What do you think of it all?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Get a patent and roll with the fall?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Or, leave it alone as something taboo?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

What to do, I\u2019ll never know.—Do you?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
