Nicknames

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
