Nicknames

Good old days, Our ancestors finished wise, Furnishing humor still to laugh at, Small in number but beautiful and humble, In small,small communities like birds, Every person had a name since birth, But all similar,difficult to come familiar, Confused in the usage of names, They picked some nicknames like icing over cake, To ease the identity signatures in case, The nicknames kicked fading his name, It carried reasons fit to all seasons, Cat,one lazy, Goat,one engaged in gossips, Fox,one very canny, Bull,one useful, Rat,who steals, Snake,who is always in anger, Chicken,one who sells chicks, Bear,who is in dark complexion, The village today like a zoo! Name men's but nicknames animals bear, The ancestors fallen and turned into dust today, Their master minds stand tall and still intact!
