Mixing Up Or Forgetting Your Name

How can a father forget their son’s names?
Josh/Bobby or Bobby/Josh who can remember
Laughter that came to my ears when they would laugh at me
Am I the only one who mixed up their children’s names?

Today is much easier then yesterday I forgot how to yell at them
WHO, left theirs toys on the floor Bobby/Josh?
WHO, ran through the house with a hose Josh/Bobby?
I should have named them the same so I wouldn’t forget their names

Contest: I’ll never forget what’s his name or (Her name)

Cute entry for the contest, Bobby. Hope John likes it as much as I do. Ciao, Gershon P.S., I mix up my three sons' name once in a while myself. Go figure!
