WHAT’S   IN   A   NAME  

By  Dean Beaty  2/18/06

(for Ann Marie’s new baby girl)

 

The word is out, but it’s nothing new.

I hear they call her,  Sally Sue.

With four brothers that run about,

She’ll be spoiled without a doubt.

 

Her name’s not really Sally Sue.

A name like that would never do.

It doesn’t rhyme with Miss. Moroney

Like Bony Moroney or even Toni.

 

That’s why I’m here to help things out.

We’ll find a name the boys can shout.

How ‘bout Moni, Joni, or Joani.

Those names are good, not one’s a phony

 

And easier to spell that Johnathon.

It’s like writing a marathon.

Something short with punch and mirth.

That’s my advise for what it’s worth.
