Dónall O'Diomsiagh is anim dom! ( Dónall Dempsey is my name! ) I was born the weight of a bag of sugar. 2 lbs to be precise. That was all there was to me! ( My belly alas weighs more than that now )! De Da could hold me in his fist and I'd disappear 'cept for the little dangly dancing leggy bits. I had Elvis sideburns ( I was all shock up ) and entered this world of ours feet first putting my best foot forward ready to rock 'n" roll...mannn! Doris Day was singing CE SERA SERA! And what, what...do ya think they called the tiniest baby . . .ever ever seen? Why, Dónall! Dónall...of course! Dónall meaning WORLD MIGHTY SPEAR POWER. And Dempsey itself meaning THE PROUD ONE! Ahhh the majesty of the Celtic tongue! A wrestler's name if ever... "And in the green corner..." Or an Ozymandias name. . . "Look on my works, ye mighty ,and despair!" De Ma would always spoil it for me: "WORLDMIGHTYSPEARPOWERTHEPROUDONE! You get yer *** in here this minute and finish yer homework!" An awful big name ( to be sure to be sure ) for a little fella to live up to. . . Ahhh, but sure I do my best putting words to the test wrestling with a rhyme stealing through your mind. For I am ( am I not?) the poet with the hyperbolic name! WORLD MIGHTY SPEAR POWER THE PROUD ONE!
