A Wrinkle in Time
Zap map! Flap gap! Clap rap! Tap sap!
Chant mantra in a flash you're there!
Twinkle of an eye no stairs to climb,
Tesseract a wrinkle in time!
Galaxies faraway brought near
Science miracles instead of prayer.
Forces of evil, knights must fight
defending Earth Warriors of Light.
Buddha, Euclid, St. Francis, Jesus,
Pasteur, Shakespeare, Copernicus,
Beethoven, Einstein, Leonardo,
Bach, Curie, and Michelangelo.
Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Which, Mrs. Who
good witches Hoot! Whoo! Whoo!
help Meg rescue her Dad on a planet
faraway that's dark, wicked, and bad.
Need a pure heart of love and will sing
with Light Warriors to fight Black Thing;
To ward off Evil, must have wings
See stars twinkle, hear bells that ring.
Meg's heart is noble, loving, and kind
didn't want to leave her brother behind;
Evil IT has hate, Love Meg has got
She has what the Black Thing has not!
Charles Wallace was under evil spell,
Meg must get him out of this hell
"I love you. I love you." she cried
that's how she turned the evil tide.
Meg's relentless loving touches pried
Charles away from Evil's dark clutches.
Despite faraway places they roamed
everyone came back safely at home.
