Humans just love to give their pets the most embarrassing names.


Poem Artwork

I am a pet

with a most embarrassing name

my owners insist

on calling it out aloud

oh such a dreadful reframe

and I am expected

to run and obey.

Such is the embarrassment

as I sit with my friends

watch them smirk

wag their tails

as they hear my owners

awful wail,

ah sweet revenge

it comes to us all.

Tootsie Wootsie

they hear them shout

that stupid name

keep calling out,

then when

the din dies down

my friends repeat it

falling about,

but their turn comes

when their handle is called

like Maisey Cum Lightly

or Lord George,

ah sweet revenge

it comes to us all.

So cute, John! I love it, and love the cat's picture, too! I never thought about the animal's feeling when looking for a name....I just try to name it something my husband can call without feeling silly.

Cute!

I immediately recall the time my temporary (moving between apartments), 20 years my senior, college professor, friend would call his daughter, a Wall Street executive in her 20s still single and living with mama in Westchester while her father traveled the country to various schools teaching in archaic form of marketing. Anyway, every evening he had to call his daughter on my telephone line and talk the most god-awful baby talk to her. No wonder the poor girl couldn't find a man! I believe he called her, "Tootsie Wootsie," or a close facsimile.
