Windell Swaines

Windell Swaines, two unfortunate names,

tricky spelling, constantly telling

people who make the same mistakes.

It’s WINDELL SWAINES, not Sindell Waines,

Windmill Sways or Window Staines.

Deedpoll change, not hard to arrange

Be Bob, Ted or Pat

at the drop of a hat.

So many names, so hard to pick

from Simon, Peter Tom or Mick

Someone suggests their own name, Trevor,

with trembling hands, it’s now or never.

As pen hits paper, an inner voice cries,

“With Bob, or Ted there’s no surprise.

Do you want to be normal, the same as the pack

Publish Post

like Christopher, Samuel , Norman and Jack.

It’s good to be different , have peculiar names,

sorry I’m sticking with Windell Swaines.
