1882

Call me Sherry of the prairie

When I'm 15, I expect I will marry.

Life is hard in 1882,

So I'll point out exactly what I like to do.

*

I travel to the future

When I'm bored or upset,

Because the future has

Got to be better, I'll bet.

*

I wouldn't milk cows

Or take care of the land.

Food would come by magic,

Just by demand.

*

Where now my bread's kneaded,

I then say, "Bread, please,"

And if I am hungry,

I just say, "Add cheese."

*

The future will surely

Have good things, I hope.

Inventions so I will

Not have to make soap.

*

Self-cleaning cabins,

And self-chopping wood,

Self feeding animals

Sure would be good.

*

I think that I'd much rather

Lounge like a queen

Upon a soft cloud -

Now that WOULD be a scene!

*

I don't really know

What the future may hold,

But hard work on the prairie

Is sure getting old.
