Just having fun with words

 SOMEWHERE SOMEPLACE

 

Somewhere is someplace to be.

There’s always something in Somewhere to see.

So, come see us and we’ll give you a cap.

Just look for Somewhere on the map.

 

We’re easy to find, we’re in the same space

Right between Nowhere, and Anyplace.

The road to Somewhere is one of some,

It really doesn’t matter which way you come.

 

Now Nowhere, is no place to be.

In Nowhere, there’s nothing to see.

Nowhere is nothing great.

There’s nothing to do or celebrate.

 

So don’t go to Nowhere, there’s nothing there.

Nobody could give you a warning more fair.

But just past Nowhere on a line you can trace,

You’ll find yourself in Anyplace.

 

You can go to Anyplace at anytime,

And anything you want is yours for a dime.

The only trouble there, is there isn’t a store,

So hardly anybody goes to Anyplace anymore.

 

So somehow, remember Somewhere when making some plans,

And don’t forget Somewhere has lots of fans.

Someway you’ve got to see Somewhere.

Just use your map to get here from there.

I really love how you can just take words and create art with them.

I know a bunch of folks who want to go Somewhere, but find themselves going Nowhere first. They think it's a miracle when they get Somewhere, rather than how much time they wasted going to Nowhere, first.

And I especially love it when the GPS gods drop them off in the middle of Nowhere. ;-)

A lovely play on words, Michael, that you are so master at. An excellent idea wonderfully rendered. John

Michael, you are one clever man. Have you always been able to write this kind of poem. I don't know what to say to you anymore other that keep em comin' cause I love readin' 'em. I usually read them to my wife, too. That way I get to enjoy them at least two times.

Is this near 'somewhere over the rainbow'?

I'm partial to "that" place.
