"Loblolly Lane" [More: Poem]

[The start of this poem came to me today while I was calling potential students for pre-testing. One of the addresses happened to be at this particular lane that caught my Dr. Seuss fancy.]

There is a tale of Loblolly Lane
if I shared the details
you’d think me insane
it regards people who lived
and died there in vain
that believed as they would
with only half a brain
all haunted by ghosts
whose words fell like rain
into the minds of those
who could not complain.
I would tell this story
but I really must abstain
just realize this is true:
there is a tale of Loblolly Lane.
