#100peoplepoems 10: Can you go to next Tuesday and bring back a snack right now?

Today’s somewhat confusing query comes from Elffin, who hoped to solve a snack shortage through parental time travel. 

The snacks from next Tuesday

Are ever so tasty

But if you want to eat them

Well, don’t be too hasty

To your time travel whims

I would willingly cater

But if you eat them now

Then what will you eat later?

Such woe will be found

And such hunger you’ll meet

When next Tuesday comes round

And there’s nothing to eat!
