NAMES
Once I was called a polliwog
Do our names say who we are
Certain names our character define
So what is the value of a name November 20, 2004 Poetry © Jan Haile Clark
Told I was fine as the hair of a frog
My brother said I was a dirty dog
Now I've been called a clever clog
Can special names make us a star
Weird names make us act bizarre
Be just means to call us from afar
Others make us feel divine
Some are bad and some are fine
You could even have ninety nine
If it's ever been used to defame
Or been changed to play a game
Is the person still the same?
