+====== To Morrow ======
+by Bob Gibson
+I started on a journey, about a year ago
+To a little town called "Morrow" in the state of Ohio.
+I've never been much of a traveler, and I really didn't know
+That Morrow was the hardest place I'd ever try to go.
+So I went down to the station for my ticket and applied
+For tips regarding Morrow, not expecting to be guyed.
+Said I, "My friend, I'd like to go to Morrow and return
+No later than tomorrow, for I haven't time to burn."
+Said he to me, "Now let me see if I have heard you right:
+You'd like to go to Morrow and return tomorrow night?
+You should have gone to Morrow yesterday and back today,
+For the train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way.
+If you had gone to Morrow yesterday, now don't you see,
+You could have gone to Morrow and returned today at three;
+For the train today to Morrow, if the schedule is right,
+Today it goes to Morrow and returns tomorrow night.
+Said I, "My friend, it seems to me you're talking through your hat;
+There is a town named 'Morrow' on the line, now tell me that!"
+"There is," said he, "but take from me a quiet little tip:
+To go from here to Morrow is a fourteen-hour trip.
+The train today to Morrow leaves today at eight thirty-five,
+At half past ten tomorrow is the time it should arrive.
+So if from here to Morrow is a fourteen-hour jump,
+Can you go today to Morrow and get back today, you chump?"
+Said I, "I'd like to go to Morrow, but can't I go today
+And get to Morrow by tonight, if there is no delay?"
+"Well, well," said he to me, "and I've got no more to say;
+Can't get anywhere tomorrow and get back again today!"
+Said I, "I guess you know it all, but kindly let me say:
+How can I get to Morrow if I leave this town today?"
+Said he, "You can not go to Morrow any more today,
+For the train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way."
+I was so disappointed I was mad enough to swear;
+The train had gone to Morrow, and had left me standing there.
+That man was right in telling me I was a howling jay;
+I could not go to Morrow, so I guess in town I'll stay.
