Probable-Possible, my black hen,
She lays eggs in the Relative When.
She doesn’t lay eggs in the Positive Now
Because she’s unable to Postulate How.

Little Bo-Peep
Has lost her sheep
The radar has failed to find them.
They’ll all, face to face,
Meet in parallel space,
Preceding their leaders behind them.

Since, in the past,
She won’t work very fast,
Her wages are held in suspension.
