Adrian, muscles rippling

and  glistening from summer sun,

as the girls grip

their nails in their fists, wishing.

Adrian, head emerging from car engine

wringing greasy hands,

and grinning a greeting,

reaching for his shirt,

as the girls glide in, sniffing;

whiffing at pheromones

that hint of moaning, groaning

atonement.

Good girls watching as

Adrian gets ready

for Bible study.

I’ve be told all my life from the ill informed that “Shawn is a boy’s name!”  My mother found the name in the girls’ section of her baby book, and according Wolfram Alpha data, 30,000 females in the US are named Shawn or Shaun.  Sure, ten times that number are male, but so what?  There are  ten times more female Shawns than there are Aurelias and Rosalees for example.  If those are girls’ names, Shawn is ten times moreso…

We may not be great in number, but there is some talent represented. So here are some well-known female Shawns or Seans or Shauns.  If you have any to add, or you’re one yourself, please leave the information as a comment!
