You Don't Call Me By My Name








My name is Kim, dontcha know?

Same as it was 20 odd years ago.

Does having a kid warrent changing my name?

I'm getting just a bit tired of this game.

It's 'Mama' this and 'Mama' that.

You won't get laid callin' me that.

It ain't yo mamma in your bed.

It's KIM you fool, get it thru your head!

You can call me 'honey' or call me 'dear'.

But 'mama' won't get you any action here.

I'm proud to be Mama, I'll have you know

But when it's just us, please ...let it go.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

The other day, I realized I couldn't remember the last time my husband called me by my name.
I DO have one......a NAME that is!!

I really like this poem.I know how you feel in most of it. Still I am curious how you get those exellant special effects in it.I was just wondering because I can't add sounds(music),pictures,or even change my font on each poem.So I was just wondering but it's ok if you're busy or something.I suppose it doesn't really matter all that much.But I just wanted you to know that I do enjoy your poems.And they are greatly appreciated by another writer.

Kim,
This is so cute, I too have a husband who calls me mommie. I finally got tired of hearing this in bed and told him, If you want to sleep with your mommie. go back home to her. But i am not your mommie and this is not very romantic in bed. so lose the mommie, or lose something else...LOL...
Very well said...

"Have one" what!!?? Husband, name, or other?? Some things we miss for a moment......others can't be found even looking back over a decade. Has he simply snuggled you lately?? That's the first thing to go. Nice work, again; thought-provoking. Teddy


"Poe" I'm not, nor "Rich" am I,
but I'll be famous, b'ye and b'ye !
