writing In the town that had no name (Poem/lyrics thing)

[Callisto 1,877]

This a poem thing-y that I wrote. After the first couple lines popped in to my head, I just needed to finish it. It's sort of an old west type thing. Somewhat inspired by The Beatles' "Rocky Raccoon".

 

 

A long, long time ago

In a town that had no name

Lived a boy named John G. Johnson

A boy who knew no shame

 

One day he ran away from home

And his folks were worried sick

But Johnny had begun to roam

And was getting quite a kick

 

He was 500 miles away

In a town that had no name

He thought he'd be here to stay

In a place that had no shame

 

He was sittin down at a local saloon

Havin himself a drink

When some old crazy loon

Named Jim Lee Teerink

 

Came up to him

With a gun in his hand

He said "My name is Jim

And I rule this land"

 

He picked up his gun

And Johnny did too

He knew there was nowhere to run

He knew this to be true

 

But Johnny boy smacked Jim

Right in the face

And knocked his gun away from him

Johnny thought he could close the case

 

But Ol' Jimmy boy

Had some other ideas

He picked up John's gun like a toy

And he pointed it at John and said

"See ya, Johnny"

 

Shot poor Johnny right into the face

In a town that had no name

 

 

 

 

I know it sucks, but I had done it, and I didn't really have a reason not to post it.
