Alot Doesn’t Exist by Darren McErlain

‘Twas a dark and stormy night among the horrible sixteen seas,

When the Pirate ship O’Hara, sailed into the dock of Fees.

It slammed into the port and jolted the ship ashore,

With sailors from the top deck attempting to break the law.

They took out a massive chainsaw and split the land in two,

By cutting a symmetrical pattern a new folklore grew and grew.

The traditional land of A lot was cut into two equal halves,

With two new entry points and stencil-crete ridden paths.

The two lands were divided and needed a name of their own,

So the Captain did some thinking, as the history has shown.

One land part was called “A” and was granted an official name,

Whilst the other land parcel called “LOT” had a symbol of a flame.

The two towns were now known as “A” and “Lot”,

And for teachers, this certainly hit the spot.

The town Alot became extinct, and was kicked off every map,

The word no longer existed – a new agreement signed in sap.
