Did I ever tell you of Mrs McCave
who had twenty three sons and she
named them all Dave.
And often she wishes that when they were born
she had named one of them Bodkin Van Horn
and one of them Hoos Foss and one of them Slim
and one of them Hotshot and one Sunny Jim.. . . . . .
(it goes on for 23 names. . . . .)
This was one of the stories in the Sneeches. Didn't have to read it to my son when he was little, I could just recite it. . . . it's been a while now, though, and I probably couldn't get all the way through it. . . .
