A Name Is Made That May Or May Not Fade!

The cat raised an eyebrow the other day as this came to play. It is sure a weird one that came to pass. Aren't I already called a little rhyming ass? Among other things at my sea. Like Orlin, or Pat pretending to be me. Shhh, that last one isn't true. Hmph, guess I can't fool you.

Today is the day.
The day you want.
The day you stray.
That day you haunt.

For it is your day.
The day of the name.
Forever it shall stay.
The day you lay claim.

Not when you popped.
Out like a umm thing.
Nope, you got name dropped,
But that was a fling in spring.

It's still winter.
So you can't have that.
Go smash a printer,
Then come back to the cat.

Today you've made it.
Yeah, that I've said.
At least in some form or bit,
But I can't let it go to your head.

Or maybe I should.
This is your day.
And it's not that kind of wood,
Just in case you went that way.

For it's your name.
Not something like Bob.
Nope, that is just lame.
Hey, go speak to Rob.

For this is it.
The moment of all.
You will see it writ.
Or written or wrote on the wall.

Have to keep all happy.
Grammar nazis as well.
For you want to flappy.
It must stay oh so swell.

For it has been made.
Like a book on the shelf.
Nope, you can't trade.
You made a name for yourself.

Umm, did you pull it out of a hat? How did you go about that? Did you legally switch it? If not, the IRS may not like that shit. You made a name but didn't change yours? Is that like people sitting at home and taking tours? Can either even be done? Boy, is making a name for yourself a bit of a confusing run. The cat will stick to the name he made up with Cass and I will remain a little rhyming ass.

Enjoy your winter, smash a printer.

    and got caught years later down the road

  7. Hey, in this country my name is unique
    and I think that is C'est Magnifique.
    I have heard of Name day
    My mom would often say
    this was special in Germany
    Holy Criminy!
    Let's just stick with the name we got
    unless it's Gaylord or Big Bertha-they can go rot

  9. What's in a name anyway? I've had several in my life, and I answered to them all. You can call me "Hey you!" and I'll turn around. I may not smile, but I'll notice. :-)

  10. I'd rather be nameless
    than called "dirt" or "squirt"
    but if a hot man calls me "sexy"
    he sure won't get hurt
    unless he likes it that way
    and he's not just being testy (yeah, bad 'rhyme' for "sexy")
    then it's time for adult play come what may.
    Whatever his name,
    he can call me Game
    I'll call him for the night
    that very day
    and the next ones too
    until this nameless gal's
    through.

  20. When I was young I went by my middle name
    Because my little sister couldn't say my first name.
    When she got older I changed to my first name.
    Because then she could say my name.
    And few people today know my middle name.
    Are you confused yet?
