Short Renaming Poems

NDOVO

Zoos renaming all the cages,
But why in all these ages
Weren't we told "Ndovo"?
Golden name.

From here on in, I'm renaming my limericks
My clever new name will of course be HUMORICKS
Seems silly I know
But limericks must go
Because HUMORICKS give humor addicts a lot more kicks...

Been watching the film War and Peace
I’ve renamed the film Snore and Cease
Twas long and so boring
Soon I started snoring
I’d rather have been watching Grease

I’ve never seen the film – just having a bit of fun with word play!

Eerily eager evil enigma elevated eleven renaming egg land.

Meager minis liked their initial idea eggplant ready.

Beefily blatantly weird in a diddly extra wiggly way.

I was ready, reved, relieved and willing my elevated eight.

Is someone profiting on your wishes and dreams,
renaming your parade

Like a thief in the night they steal every wish,
their own life at best a charade

Is someone else cashing the check you just wrote,
to pay for their larcenous schemes

Has your good name been kidnapped, indentured, enslaved
—as you curdle in search of the cream

This world is ever changing. 
There is a need for renaming. 
Seasons change from one to another. 
Don't stop it, why bother?

Change is something that is a need.
Every huge tree must start from a seed.
Everything will eventually grow. 
Some things high start from below. 

Change will never stop here. 
There will always be a change near. 
When it comes, we cannot say. 
This something could come any day....

To another woman he shall surely switch,
The present one definitely ditch,
His voice at its most embarrassing pitch,
Now naming her ‘White Witch,’
Soon renaming her ‘Black ,’
Curious passersby to never know “which? “
Nor why his nostrils flare and twitch,
A bit believing that this might be flesh and its itch
And a great deal surer that he’s stinking rich:
The level of Affluence judged a down-dragging hitch,
Worse than Tyson’s landed punch on Green Mitch!...
