Nicholas Nick Trim

People called "Nicholas" that actually use the whole word as their name, 
I bet they're not worth knowing. Issues clearly.

People that shorten it to "Nick", 
overlook the fact, 
it's literally a nasty sound, ick ick.

That's why I'm Trim, always Trim, or Trimmer,
Trim Trimmer,
chicken dipper rimmer.

Nameisms on Facebook make me a victim,
a pain inflicting victim Nick Trim.

So I say, stop the descrim against Trim,
allow one word names to begin.

no one ever knew what my first name was,
Facebook, understand it was on purpose,
I don't even respond to Nicholas 
and Nick is horrible to hear often,

Trim is slim fit and sexy, 
I'm dyslexic a git a dipsy,
currently crapulous and rather tipsy, 
I'm going now to fight the floor that hit me, 
vexed, me.
