A Ripple In Time by Bruce Morton

NEWS FLASH!
It seems that scientists
Have found ripples
In space and time.
Well, hell, fifty-years
Ago I discovered empty
Bottles of Ripple filling
Dumpsters and gutters
On Sunday mornings
Because, heaven knows,
We had the time and were
Spaced out in our ever-
Expanding universe. There
Is a space-time continuum.




Bruce Morton divides his time between Montana and Arizona.
