My mother never heard of Freud <br />and she decided as a little girl <br />that she would call her husband Dick <br />no matter what his first name was <br />and did. He called her Ditty. They <br />called me Bud, and our generic names <br />amused my analyst. That must, she said, <br />explain the crazy times I had in bed <br />and quoted Freud: "Life is pain." <br />"What do women want?" and "My <br />prosthesis does not speak French."<br /><br />Alan Dugan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nomenclature/
