Time Flies Like An Arrow by Edison Schroeder 1966

 

Oh thin farm girls like farm boys narrow,

And tax firm men like fat tax forms,

And thin fruit flies like thunderstorms,

But time flies like an arrow.

 

When farm girls thin their boy friends flanks,

And tax forms tax all firm mens souls,

Thats when the murd'rous thunder rolls,

And thins the fruit flies ranks.

 

Like tossed bananas in the sky,

The thin fruit flies like common yarrow,

Thens the time to time the time flies,

Like the time flies like an arrow.

 

This clever poem is a commentary on the difficulty of producing a machine parsing (and thence translation) of English.  Almost every phrase is open to several interpretations
