Dave-man, Cave-man gave me his name
But being "Missus Cabin" is a new job for this dame.
We're Cavanaughs without the 'augh',
Breaking all the language laws.
From the County Cavan of Irish Isle fame,
After Ellis Isle, they would never spell the same.
And every generation may have had to fight the urge to say:
"We're not caverns, we're not cave-ins; we're more ravenous than raven.
Say laven(der) and daven(port); Caven is our name!"
Sometimes we're the Cavenoids.
Rhymes with (bio)flavin(oids).
We will never cave in
To the tone of (ribo)flavin!
—Kristen Caven, formerly Baumgardner (but that's a whole 'nother song...)
