/// Men who travel through time seek this child.
They are smug, homicidal and wild.
Nanny takes special care,
so no one is aware 
this is Adolph, who’ll be so reviled.

/// The hair bow is just one ploy she uses
to ensure that he’s viewed as she chooses.
Should a hostile eye see
when he lifts skirts to pee,
his “equipment” just further confuses.

/// Nanny’s comfy with fungible gender.
Just this morning she woke from a bender.
Her strange underwear came
from some much smaller dame
and her tie from the local bartender.

/// Is it moral to murder a kid
to prevent what the grown-up man did,
(but has not yet been done)?
Paradox isn’t fun,
and a slippery slope’s being slid.
