Our Alphabetical Boy by Bob McMahon

 

 

We’re having a baby – our first child,

But choosing a name is driving us wild.

There’s Adam, Ben, Charles or Dean,

Considered them all – but still not keen.

 

Then come Edward, Frank, George or Harry,

Whatever the name it’s a nine month carry.

We’ve thought of Ian and John, Kenneth and Len,

All good strong names for outstanding men.

 

What about Michael, Nathan, Oliver or Pete,

For our new born boy they are oh so sweet.

There’s Quentin, Robert, Stewart or Tim

But still can’t decide on a name for him.

 

Enter Uriah, Victor, William and Xavier,

I’ve heard some names a whole lot crazier.

Finally there’s only Yorick and Zack,

To hell with it – we’ll just call him Jack !
