Wealthy hah
Rich no

Dad my name
Doesn’t quite
Suit me

It does though
He says
It does

It does not
I happen to think
It’s almost painfully
Laughable

Dad this is
Unfair for me
My name is so
It’s so unusual

Exactly he says
It’s different
It’s special
It’s a name made
Exactly for
You

My name is
An exotic bird
Stretching tropical
Colored wings

He’s proud to say
He’s so completely
Unlike anyone
Else
