What's In a Name
What's in a name
I looked at my name
and I now must confide
I found so many things
that were waiting inside
I checked all the letters
for what there could be
And sat there amazed
by the stuff I did see
There’s a hinge and a chin,
a big grin and a cheer
Cries and a siren,
some heirs and a sneer
Found resin and rings
a genie, a screen
A singer, a signer
a sire and a scene
Saw generic hens
and ringers sincere
A Grinch and an inch
and rehires right here
There’s niches and riches
and itches and rice
A sheen and a gene
and a niece, very nice
So many things
I found in my name
No time for them all
and that is a shame
But maybe real soon
when I find extra time
I’ll post a few more,
just as long as they rhyme
