Today's word is "eponym" ... EP-uh-nim ... a person, real or imaginary, from whom something, as a tribe, nation, or place, takes or is said to take its name. (Dictionary.com)
Speak
Hello? Hello?
Is that an echo I hear?
What is it? What is it?
That you're saying my dear?
Does the cat have your tongue?
Are you unable to speak,
Like that poor eponym,
Who's words were so weak?
She courted a God,
You can read her sad tale ...
How her speech was curtailed,
And her love was derailed.
Speak up and tell me,
What's on your mind?
I've no magic powers,
And I'll be kind!
