The Tiny Town of Long Creek
A Poem
March 1, 2017
The tiny town of Long Creek
Known as Nowhere, U.S.A.
I didn’t enjoy a moment there
I hated it every day
There, there is nothing
Not a soul to be found
Save several old folks
Who wander around
Atop the hill
A school for all ages
An empty library
Books with dusty pages
The nearest store is
But ninety miles away
Simple grocery shopping
Will take your whole day
Yes there is nothing there
Boredom lingers all day
In the tiny town of Long Creek
Known as Nowhere, U.S.A.
