NAMES by John Tustin

Mr. Hyde is in plain sight
Mr. Wide is very narrow
Mr. Luce is very tight
Mr. Smiley’s full of sorrow

Mr. Mann is not a man
Mr. Dryer is a wino
Mr. White is very tan
Mr. Black’s a full albino!

Mr. Swift is not too bright
Mr. Sweet is very sour
Mr. Amity loves to fight
Mr. Strong is without power

Mr. Gordo’s very thin
Mr.  Braver has no guts
Mr. Outer won’t come in
Mr. Sain’s completely nuts!

Mr. Capps’ head is naked
Mr. Tam’s head’s the same
To Mr. Godley, nothing’s sacred
A man is more than just his name





John Tustin is tired of trying to write third person bios. fritzware.com/johntustinpoetry contains links to his published poetry online.
