To My Grand Nephew

Rating: 5.0


Henry,
I tell you,
close to the outset,
one name won't be enough.

It might be your luck
to be Ennery,
after all the feathers you pluck;

or, tough,
Big Hal, after grand uncle Al;

But wait,
because there's been 8,
you might be The Ninth,
or King, or Kingy;

or to me in my dotage,
Thingy.
