I Don't Know Who I Am

    Mordechai Fofoofnik
       Murgatroyd Abercrombie
    These are the names
       my mother called me

    Now that mom’s gone
       I don’t know who I am
    Though judging by my phone calls
       ~ my new name is ‘Spam’

Charming poem, Gershon. Your beloved mother sounds like she was such a good mother. Shabbat Shalom, good friend. :)

You have a wonderful sense of humour, Gershon ~ a totally charming poem. Your mother must have been a darling of a lady ~

Ha Ha, that's funny - Perhaps in your line of business, I'm guessing you need to call many people. But you Mom knows who you are anyway. Maria

Spam, I am, I am. Your Mom loved you to call you those cute names. Nice poem.
