The History of Time Travel

I'm going to try to speak this afternoon about the future

(About the future)

Because it is only the future in which I am only really viably interested

(About the future)

I will try now to explain

According to a long standing superstition

This is supposed to bring good luck

Furthermore, I do not know how much it had to do with our getting back, safely

But I do know that luck played a part in this flight

Considerably more of a part than I had hoped it would play

But let me say this on that connection

That the time when luck played the greater to an error in judgement on my part

It occurred in active region nine on the Sun's south-west quadrant
