My father was the youngest
Of three in his family,
First a boy, next a girl,
Then came the new baby.
His brother called for his dad,
A WILLIAM PENNY ROSS
Sister, for her mother
Plain JANE, - NOW, at a loss.
William was a four year old
And Jane, was nearing two
So words were being slightly mixed
If she did talk to you.
So what was this one to be called?
How’d he acquire his name?
His sister, inadvertently,
Has had to take the blame.
When friends or family visited
And sister Jane did see,
She asked “Are you all coming
To see the new ‘boby’
So while, was given BOBBY,
His name, for what it’s worth,
Did register as ROBERT, on
His Certificate, of Birth.
