My Name Is...

Nameless mural found again in the Western Ring Area in Braunschweig.

Eyes, huh?
See here:


Taken at the Freo Markets.
I got a scan, too, but they sadly mixed it up.

Such irony!
I threw it away in disappointment.
Ingo always tells this story:
 
You see, he grew up in a village.
With cows and all.
If asked he claims they were a bunch of boys, out for an adventure.
Those fences, you know, he tried to climb under, the wire snatched back and BOOOOOM! 
That´s how his eye...

NONESENSE of course, his mother has the same. Eyes...
 
See, friend M (Sami, you´ve met him in Carousel) said I can be lucky my Dad was no heart surgeon, otherwise my name would be...
 
 
Boy, am I lucky my Dad was an optometrist, cause that is where my name is from, part of the retina.
Iris-scan, you know, that "stuff". My Mum was never happy with this.
 
Now I meet it in railway, too, darn it, Dad!!!


This, Sami, as your J sure knows, stands for "International Railway Industry Standard".
Which also goes for "my" turquoise tram in Frankfurt, of course.

Thank you, Dad, great name you gave me. Confusion all the time (well, once in a while).

Oh, come on, big boy, play nice!!!
Joining Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals - see you soon 😘

That is a very colorful and fun mural. It is clever, Ingo's scan is nice. sorry they got yours mixed up.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, sad, the scan wasn´t really cheap and I only saw it at home...

Tom, thank you. I think one might find some in the park :-)

Sami said...

Nice mural find Iris. Your name could be associated to the flower too of course. Glad you were not named Aorta, lol
Thanks for participating in Monday Murals.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, Sami, Aorta would be weird ;-)

Jeanie said...

Iris is a MUCH lovelier name than Aorta! What a great story!

Iris Flavia said...

Jeanie, I so agree, LOL.

I have green eyes, think the last time I had an exam like that was over 10 years ago, I usually don't have any issues with them except needing reading glasses but that's about it.

Again my comment is vanished. I am not happy with blogger, on many blogs my comments vanish.

Iris Flavia said...

RedPat, yes, Dad was some man....
