My daddy calls me Will-dog. <br />PaPa calls me chief. <br />I’m always baby brother <br />to my sister - oh, good grief! <br /> <br />My Nana calls me punkin’. <br />Mama calls me little man. <br />I’m boo-boo bear to Grammy, <br />geez, I wonder WHO I am. <br /> <br />The mailman says, “Hey, sport! ” <br />Auntie calls me precious lamb <br />and when I act real silly, <br />MiMi says I’m quite a ham. <br /> <br />I guess it’s like my sneakers. <br />Some call them tennis shoes. <br />Both names mean the same thing. <br />It doesn’t matter which I use. <br /> <br />Or maybe like a puppy dog, <br />some people call them hounds. <br />It doesn’t really matter, <br />‘cause they both make barking sounds. <br /> <br />Maybe it’s not so awful <br />they don’t all call me the same. <br />I feel kinda-sorta special <br />that I have so many names!<br /><br />C.J.
