Si Og - Pronounced Like 'she-Og,' As In, 'Ogre,'

Don’t ascribe ulterior motives to the things she does and the ways she might go She’s no more than a Peter Pan or a little Si-og The charmed and cursed child of a leprechaun She’s small, but her eyes are long; she’s mischievous, but not that wrong. She comes into your lives just looking for a friend, Nothing more, and just to laugh enough to drown the cries is her only intent. Always smiling and seeming cheerful But her blood is heavy and her heart is tearful. Stop being afraid Stop staying away She won’t hurt you or anyone you love with her taunts To see you smirk or smile is all that she wants.

I've got Irish roots and can't say I've heard of the little fairy. Shame on me. But you learn everyday. Regards Tom.

I hadn't heard of this one, either, until I stopped in an Irish specialty shop downtown. My roots aren't more Irish than those of most Caucasian Americans, but I was struck by how similar the Si-Og doll seemed to Peter Pan. I asked the owner of the shop to explain more about it, and low and behold, I learned my new thing for the day!
