They picked some nicknames like icing over cake,
To...

I am Peter Smith
My boss was Peter as well
A different surname obviously
I was distinguished by my surname originally
I wasn’t too keen on that: it sounded like you were after a fight
“Smith!”
It sounded quite disrespectful to me
The boss was quite refreshing and called me “Pete”

Robins the name given me
But poemprophet or sweet pea
Are some that suit me much more
Than others used on me before
Poemprophet fits to the letter
Writing poems there's nothing better
Sad, life, love or even funny
My words are right on the money
Flowing emotions I can't stop it
Touching hearts...

Douglas Dempster the Dumpster King
Hates to be called Doug Dumpster
But he's to blame if that's his name
Denying it is a real stumper.

Mashes the trash, burns it to ash,

A self-made man with a garbage can
That ought to make him proud.

Dougy Dumps whines and...
