Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Name Change


Maewyn Succat in Britain be,

Born of family well to do

About year 390 A.D.

At age 16, an Irish crew

Kidnapped the young man and took him

To Ireland to become a slave.

He tended sheep for 6 years grim,

But then found God his soul to save.

Back to England he did escape,

Became a priest as he did yearn.

The rest of his life did take shape -

Back to Ireland he did return.


Now called Patrick, he would acquaint

Irish with God, becoming Saint.
