ANONYMOUS

 The Sunday Muse #174


I always wanted a special name
Like, for instance
Fibonacci’s sequence
Einstein’s theory
Newton’s law of gravity
Occam’s razor
    or  Murphy’s law

But, alas,  I never was a cool cat
I’ve drifted from bar to bar,
seeking fame in a bottle.
one foot in a fairy tale
the other in an abyss
I think my mother knew 
I wouldn’t be a famous puss
When she decided on my name
And called me ANONYMOUS

  3. Amazing take on the prompt photo, Beverly. Sometimes laying low isn't all bad.

  4. Parents sometimes don't realize what a bad name can do to a kid. One of our daughters is named "Peggy Sue" and she changed it to Susie, not officially, even to her teachers and the school. I am glad she did that, she has a lot of spunk and doesn't put up with too very much. There was once a popular song, "Peggy Sue," "Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue, I love you sooo much . . ." My song, "There Stands the Glass" was also popular, more so with the CW genre.
