Acerca del libro
Described by the author as a kid's book of poems for adults, this collection of 11 poems should leave you chuckling and shedding tears of joy. Here's a sample:
The name is Quixton Markabee.
That’s what they picked for me.
The ‘Markabee’, it’s not their fault.
On that we all agree.
But ‘Quixton’? That’s a question mark.
The name seems so contrary.
It’s like they got their fingers stuck
Deep in the dictionary.
I used to think they didn’t care,
And then I’d just get mad.
Of all the zillion, billion names,
You’re sayin’, “This is all they had?“
How about a name like ‘Tiger‘?
That brand’s got some bite.
But a name that came straight from the zoo
Could ruin my appetite.
Well, I’d consider ‘Kobe’.
Now, that’s a term I’d take.
The more I ruminate about it, though,
The more it sounds like steak.
Ya’ know, there’s Sting or Frank,
A famous singer’s name,
But if I couldn’t croon a tune,
They’d crown me ‘King of Pain’.
Borrowing a name like Shaquille
Might bring me two huge feet,
And I’m not sure the plus size appeal
Would agree with the size of my seat.
Why not the name of a car?
Domestic or foreign? We’ll see.
My emissions might spark regulations
Confusing the DMV.
I’ve dreamed of ‘Jeremiah’,
A rough, tough mountain man,
But Jeremiah was a bullfrog, too
From some old 60’s band.
Think… I should choose ‘Einstein’,
With smarts and innovation,
But then I’d be expected to
Solve endless math equations.
A name from ancient history
Just could be kind of cool.
But names that make you feel so old,
One might consider cruel.
I’ve got to find a certain name
That makes it hard to rhyme,
‘Cause we all know that wise guys
Would like to poke at mine.
Hey! Wait a minute. This could work!
‘Though ’Quixton’ sounds amusing,
Not much really rhymes with it,
A name that no one‘s using.
So that‘s it! I’ll stick with Quixton.
My friends? They think it‘s fine.
And maybe later, when I‘m famous,
Some kid can copy mine.
