On further wishful thinking, with his amulet in hand,
And giant Ambloome’s finger on it, Lester could command
His amulet (on earth) to take them both a long way forward
To 3501 AD, which first made them feel awkward.

They soon adjusted, glad to see the future, and explored
The city of that era. Ambloome earned a large reward,
When standing in the mall, to help a falling window cleaner,
Who thanked the smiling giantess, well pleased with her demeanour.

He used his cleaning gear to add some extra sparkling shines
To Ambloome’s giant jewellery, then returned to wiping signs.
Then Lester took them both away from elevated highways.
They went to Ambloome’s future, as they travelled (this time) sideways.

On Ambloome’s giant world, in future time, they found great peace:
Invading fairies all defeated. They’d renewed their lease
On happiness and holidays. They soon were socializing
With Ambloome’s late successors, who found Lester quite surprising.

They’d read the ancient legends; but she’d never had a prince
(With Lester as the father). So Queen Nonvor did convince
A Noble of the kingdom to begin a line of leaders;
As giantess and tiny man were happy, not as breeders.

There had been times, between those eras, when a war was fought,
Preserving giant monarchy. Then children born were taught
To stave off revolutions, which might leave them badly bloodied.
The history scrolls of Ambloome’s world of giants had been studied.

The palace had been given quite a makeover, since when
The Lester/Ambloome couple followed Nonvor’s reign back then.
The modern giant kingdom had new luxuries, retaining
Its charm of Ambloome’s time, though other queens had since been reigning.

Then, true to every other yarn that’s found in time-jump lore,
They got back only seconds after they had left before.
Their amulet could give them time away without requiring
Their lengthy absence, with their travel time not soon expiring.

Then Ambloome tried to document adventures, thus to write
New history of their jumps in time, but one small oversight
Had not complied with changing rules, that document revision
Must be 500 words or more. She'd written with precision.

She sat at her elaborate desk, which had some built in jewels,
And wondered why the modern scribes were adding pointless rules.
She wrote her way towards compliance, modifying scribbling
Subjecting what had been enough, to circumvent the quibbling.

She thought of other mediums, which might have been entrusted
With what she wrote upon that desk, where gems had been encrusted;
And put her recollections of their time jumps in containers,
To be time capsules of the present day with no complainers.

Ironic, though it seemed, that what she'd written of their ride
In time could be unearthed, around the time the recent bride
Had visited in 3501, then coinciding
With her arrival there, which shows that time is made for biding.

Her earth sized husband Lester sat upon her desk and viewed
The movements of her her hand and eyes, not wanting to intrude
Upon her concentration, which new scribing rules had hijacked.
He waited for some romance, while his wife was briefly sidetracked.
