Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

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 out my hair

If you've got this thing figured
Then please help me 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

Tim Smith September 10, 2015 at 10:52 AM I think I saw a sign for it on my trip to Happiness. Good Morning Jackaroo!!! Jack Ellison September 10, 2015 at 11:38 AM Tried to post one about "Intercourse, PA" and they wouldn't let me! Grrr!

Carol Eastman September 10, 2015 at 10:45 AM Grandpa Troll says we all visit Mistake at some time or another... but can't remember the visit... just the results we take with us... Can we believe him? Can it be true? Either way... if We find out where it is... I'd like to send a few cantankerous poeple there... so they appreciate us more... Hey! and no coffee yet! Amazing! Morning... Alien-Jack! That was Grandpa Trolls idea for your new name. I still like SantaJack and LimmerJack best. Maybe we should have a contest about your name? Think?
