Poet Lake

 

A Hollywood-type couple

Have jetted into town

Bearing latest baby

A jewel in their crown

 

By means of social media

She was pronounced awake

Presented to the world as

Their jewel Poet Lake

 

Dad recited poem

As Poet did appear

Proudly showing tat on neck

(Let's all have a beer)

 

Tat on dad not Poet....

 

I should point out Poet's a girl

Strange names are all the rage

They also have two boys so-named

Bodhi Rain and Forest Sage

 

With all these Hollywood'er types

Playing with babes like toys

I'm having trouble sorting out

Which are girls and boys

 

What's wrong with 'normal' names I ask

Like good old Jack and Jill?

Hi! I'm a girl, my name is Jack

I'm Jill (twin brother's Bill)
