VICTORIA GEORGE - Our Names

We’ve all been given a name
Which some of us really don’t like
Our parents are so much to blame
I think some of them do it for spite

Our names can date us for sure
So others can tell if we’re old
It’s a pity we have to endure
This way we’re all pigeon-holed

Chloe and Zak are cute tags
Paige and Brooke are young birds
But Elsie and Dot are old bags
And Gladys is too old for words

Just imagine the future’s old folk
With names and Kylie and Jude
It really sounds like a joke
I hope that I’m not being rude
