Here are some suggestions for helping with that common mistake:
A new flag flys on Dunning's Creek
To remind us of days when fog was thick
And skimboarding cousins moved so slick
And one phoned in who writes comics
And agents changed rental dates... What a dirty trick!
Of scarcely a bug, and not one tick
And hardly any one got sick
No jellyficks,
or shark atticks
And the Carrolls! With their Curragh!
And a guitar! And a guitar-pick!
And a dinner, with the Gipper! But no bronze bust of Tricky Dick
The flag above our Dunning's Creek
Reminds of a week flew by too quick
Like Ned's life when he saw his Lotto tick!
("Big" Dan? Now who thought that nickname would stick?)
With our family, Marion just clicks
Like Christmas presents and Old St. Nicks
Or Candy Kitchen, just for kicks
Or "bonfire" flame and candle wicks
Frogs and stairs, and family beatniks
Or family eye doctors and booger flicks
Or melting cones and clean-up licks
Or Incle John and something to fix
She once pronounced it "Dunnings Creek"
Last week- some may want to freak
Or make a sandy-baby shriek!
It's an all-too common mystique to meek.
Dear Marion, it's Dunnings Creek
Why'd you ask if I is a hick?
The flag that flys over Dunning's Creek
Is a gift from Marion-- a super cool chick!
Hey Leidi, leidi-lo.
A note on Curragh
ReplyDeleteIt is Curragh
Let that name stick
You can say Curr-aff
But some will laugh
Or say Curr-ock
And they will mock
And say Curr-off
And hear them scoff
And probably the most populous
Way to say that word is this: Cure-ahh
I'd be obliged to reply that you're uhh
still way off. It's called Curragh
Let that name stick
You can sign it in blood with a pin prick
or just in ink using a free bic
But it will not change that boat with sticks
Curragh! Curragh! Curragh!
