The Space Child's Mother Goose

[stoutfellow]

arrived today. Herewith, a poem, and one of the reasons I remembered the book with such love:

Flappity, Floppity, Flip!
The Mouse on the Möbius Strip.
The Strip revolved,
The Mouse dissolved,
In a chronodimensional skip.

Thereby destroying the theory that Jack built. :-)

You have *so* got to get _Tomorrow's Children_, edited by Asimov. It's been out of print forever, so you'll have to ILL it, but there's a story by Mark Clifton in there that addresses that theme exactly. The rest of the anthology rocks commensurately. It was my intro to lots & lots of awesome authors.
