Gordon the Mountain
What's within anybody's name?
each name means something
it's description is revealing
maybe it lilts make you sing
Gordon is the name I have
at birth my mother gave it
then when adopted at 6 weeks
my new mum kept it so to fit
The name means large mountain
coming original in French I think
this fits me being over 6 feet tall
such hills and height make good link
Being tall brings authority to command
bringing power within from your name
little ones ask to reach up there
top shelf so they don't get blame
Many famous Gordon's in the world
but afraid I don't get near the top
but always glad mum kept it so
for Gordon's my cream of the crop
