A Town Called Mistake

Have you ever heard of
A town called Mistake
Folks get things wrong
From the moment they wake

No one's been right
Since the town was first named
And it's not on a map
Though it still is quite famed

To put it on the map
Would have been a mistake
Now hang on one moment
Now give me a break

That means by making
A mistake it'd be there
I'm so damn confused
I'm pulling my hair

If you've got this thing figured
Then please help my out
My mind's all ferschimmled
What's this all about

Have you ever heard of
A town called Mistake
Please write if you have
Coz my head really aches

Ken Carroll August 28, 2013 at 6:17 PM Hi Jack, A most entertaining and thought provoking write.. Ken Jack Ellison August 28, 2013 at 7:52 PM Must have been smokin' something when I wrote this one! LOL Jack

Richard Lamoureux August 28, 2013 at 6:15 PM I think I have heard of it, it's made up of only husbands and the town next to it is known as Always Right. Just kidding ladies! Thanks for the chuckle Jack. Jack Ellison August 28, 2013 at 7:51 PM Read your comment to wife, Cathie! On the way to the hospital as I write this! LOL

Kim Merryman August 28, 2013 at 12:49 PM I sure enjoyed this humorous write, Jack! Lighthearted and fun! Love, Kim Jack Ellison August 28, 2013 at 2:34 PM Were you able to figure it out coz I couldn't! LOL Love and cuddly hugs, Jack xoxoz

Carol Eastman August 28, 2013 at 10:40 AM A 10 point perfect read... They must be related to us here at Troll Lake... I bet we're not on any map either... LOL... But perhaps we will be some day if Dragon and the Trolls get famous... You never know... Now that would be frightening! Jack Ellison August 28, 2013 at 2:32 PM A PERFECT TEN!!! Yee Haw! Troll Lake isn't on the map? That's a "Mistake"! LOL Huggles xoxox

Poet Tacito August 28, 2013 at 8:56 AM Ha! This was a fun read. I imagine the population there would thrive on Opposite Day. ;-) Jack Ellison August 28, 2013 at 1:04 PM Think I may have gotten a little lost somewhere along the way to Mistake! LOL

Eileen Manassian August 28, 2013 at 7:21 AM Oh Kenny! I've visited many many times! :) Haven't I see you there too! Just one thing...Please don't pull your hair out. That beautiful white hair becomes you! :) Off to read the MASTERPIECE! HUGS!!!! Jack Ellison August 28, 2013 at 1:01 PM Guess you found out it was a mistake to stay in "Mistake"! LOL About my hair, Cathie agrees so I would suffer a fate worse than death if I was to tear it out! LOL Yummy higs, Jacko xoxox

Russell Sivey August 28, 2013 at 5:57 AM Ha Ha, lol my friend, this is quite the hilarious write! I really enjoyed reading this amazing poem this morning! This is a funny piece, town of Mistake, that would be a definite mistake to make naming a town that! I can just see all the people in that town making more mistakes than normal people in other towns just solely by the name of the town! What a brilliant poem, Great Work!! Jack Ellison August 28, 2013 at 7:53 PM Methinks the whole thing was just one big "Mistake"! LOL
