i remember
every single
year — my stocking
F-A-T chocolate
letter “R”
massive fancy
pressed “R” simply
for me — although;
grateful for that one “R”
something tells me i would
have been over the moon
if i\’d found an “A”-“N”-“I”-“A”
to complete my name
— only because when
i was growing up
my name was
always the odd
one out
save one
comical tale
— in my last year
of secondary school
i sat beside another
with the of the same name
& it only took 18
years — lol
