Namings :: Manchester
 
Sister Hester's girlie dream 
was not a swirling gown or glitter jewels, 
but the biggest and bestest house 
there ever was.
 
Every day at school in rugby class 
or hobnail boot and stamping club 
she dreamt the biggest and bestest house 
there ever was.
 
There would be two hundred and ninety-three bathrooms 
one for every cat she'd ever sat on 
in the biggest and bestest house 
there ever was.
 
So massive and humungously huge 
the mouseholes will be dragonholes 
in the biggest and bestest house 
there ever was.
 
But Little Hester became Big Hester 
and her children grew up to be accountants 
she forgot the biggest and bestest house 
there ever was.
 
And Big Hester became Granny Hester, 
telling them all of naughty naughty boys, 
she remembered the biggest and bestest house 
there ever was.
 
And then a competition rose, 
rename the town of "Rainie": 
she thought of the biggest and bestest house 
there ever was.
 
"Hester's House? No. Hester's Mansion? 
Mmmm. Just manche. Yes, yes! Manche Hester!", 
named after the biggest and bestest house 
there never was.
