Poems by Roni Moore
Naming Your Child
Name your child wisely
After his dad or after her mum.
Not after a whole football team.
That is so dumb.
Give them a name
That is strong and true.
Remembering later
The hell they’ll go through.
Cheyenne or Wilbur
Might seem nice to you,
But think of the poor mite
When it goes to school.
So name the child well
And you won’t go wrong.
Your son or your daughter
Will grow big and strong.
