Nicknames
by Bob Moore 2019
I wonder when the nickname,
became a part of who we are
and that nickname, will stay with you
though you travel near and far
So Robert, we will call him Bob
and William we’ll call Bill
and John is just called Jack
and Phillip is called Phil
there’s Nobby Clarke, and Chalky White
and Dusty Miller too
and if you only have one leg,
then Stumpy is the name for you
I remember back in England
I had a good friend then
his name was Norman Dover
but we all just called him Ben
