![]() The Ayes have it Yes, yes, yes, can you guess by looking in their eyes? Which said yes and which said yes and which yes yes was which? All dressed in grey, all dressed to play, all eyes said aye, all ayes, no noes, no nays. All eyes now look at you, those eyes that have a nose. Behind black masks they want to ask, their noses point at you-know-who! But — they do not ask. They stare and stare, all six eyes, behind their masks, now looking straight through you. Yes, yes, yes. The answer's always yes. The question is up to you. Lines: 23 © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.174] (24.agosto.2021) Write a poem inspired by these three mischievous looking racoons. 1.

Their "present" may be any year from 2021 into the distant future. 2) Why does your character need to escape, and what is the reasoning behind choosing that specific point in time to arrive? 3) How is your character prepared for jumping into the timeline at this point? What unexpected challenges might they face? Will the future follow them to the past? 4) The inner workings and physics behind your modum onerariis - be it phone booth, wristwatch, druid stones, or DeLorean - need not be explained, but please do let us know what it is.
