Never Thought I'd Sea
a rose by any other name
I never thought Iโd see or hear
Being called a name unknown
It sounds like She-In, dear
I still get Sheepdog with a bone
๐ฆด๐ฆด๐ฆด๐ฆด๐ฆด๐ฆด๐ฆด
I get S---head, Sheeny and Sheen
And, any relation to the Bishop?
Sherman, even an OโSheehan
Still get Potato, Irish and Mick

In Gaelic, it is OโSiodhachain
Even I canโt pronounce it
So, Iโve learned to take them all
But my name is not an exhibit
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
I have always loved the sea
Must be in my Irish genes
Just to be near her makes me smile
Mikeydred says Iโm a thalassophile โฆ

About the Creator
David X. Sheehan
I write my memories, family, school, jobs, fatherhood, friendship, serious and silly. I read Vocal authors and am humbled by most. I'm 76, in Thomaston, Maine. I seek to spread my brand of sincere love for all who will receive.
