The Story Never Written

In the Town of NonExistence,
On the street of Never-been,
lived a Noone and a Nothing,
In the time of Who-Knows-When.

Now, the Noone loved the Nothing,
and the Nothing loved her back.
So they never lived together,
In their Non-existent shack.

So they never had a child.
And they didn't name him John.
And they never had no money,
But they never had to pawn.

So the child never lost his health,
And didn't ever die,
So they never spread his ashes,
and they didn't ever cry.

So the Noone and the Nothing
Never reached what we call old,
and this Story never happened,
so it never has been told.
