Max's children had names
Only Max used. (My father's
Was Sock and after 1956
No one ever called him Sock)
Of the names he made up
I know three: Sock, Napugi
And Gininganoy. (I write them
Lest they be lost too.)
Were there nine names or eight?
My Aunt Edith died as a baby so
Perhaps there hadn't been time?
Nonsense! How else could Max
Have greeted her slight spirit
Or told her it was time to depart?
