Tall Tale
Long ago and far away
Folks still talk of this today,
There was a place called Mount Y'all
Everyone there was incredibly tall
Anyway, that's what they say.
The buildings there seem to touch the sky
Everything was tall and high
People there were over ten feet tall,
They did not know a word called small
And they never told a lie
It was cold, in Mount Y'all,
No spring or summer or autumn (fall)
Just one season every year,
They never saw the sun appear,
Only used to the winter's squall.
There is much that isn't known,
Of this place, no map shown,
It's known to have had many waterfalls (fools)
River beds and limpid pools
Did Mount Y'all become OVERGROWN?
