Jimmy

My father to my mother, Jim
To his brothers and sisters, Jimmy
My oldest Brother Eddie named his first child, Jimmy
"Little Jimmy" he became all his life,
at least to us in the family
Another brother who was, by the way, named Jimmy
named his first child James Allan --
called Allan but in his later life,
called Jimmy by his friends
And my other brother, Ernie named his fourth child Jimmy
And a cousin named her child Jimmy
Who knows, as I go through my family tree
I may find a lot more Jimmys --
a nice friendly, lovable name,
don't you think?
