The Village of Wrong Things
The cat with two tails
and the fish with no scales
The ghost with no scare
and the three-headed bear
The king with no gold
who would never grow old
The bat with no wings
and the dragon who sings
The girl with six eyes
and the goat who eats flies
The bird who chirps bells
and the witch with no spells
Together they live in a town that may roam
picking up strangers and bringing them home
Unknown, circa 1800’s
