Some Stuff I Wrote and Some Stuff I Didn't (2011) H. Morris Williams

Estiffanulga, Islamorada, Osprey,

Bowling Green.

Change cars here for Eucheeanna,

stranger have you ever been

To Lacoochee, Ocklawaha, Injunhamoc,

New Berlin,

To Thonotosassa, Ybor, Wewahitchka

or to Lynne?

Then there’s Largo and Narcoossee,

Tampa, home of the cigar,

Arredonda, Cerro Gordo, Stiliepica,

Malabar,

And so on, ad infinitum, till you

don’t know where you are.

Now I caught this rhyme infernal as

I heard this madman rant,

And I thought I would add to it, but

Regret to say I can’t—

For Sopchoppy and Eau Gallie were

the next names on the list.
