Word Feast Poem by Dónall Dempsey

Met the family
at the 60th birthday party.
Up to then
had only heard
of them.

Mr. Blackman
was...black!
Hey, how about that!
And his 3 sons are known
respectively as:

Moses, Emmanuel & Mikalmus
They just rolled off the tongue
in all their wonderful Biblical splendour.

But Moses
took the biscuit
when it came
to a colourful name.

His full name
being:
Moses Mooncrimson Blackman
because when
he was born

there was a red moon
or so his father observed.
Someone asked
if I wanted something to eat
but I was too busy
observing the word feast!
