To Bob

by Oscar Saggers aged 10

Dear Bob,

What does your name stand for?
B.O.B?
Please tell me why you’re called Bob.

Does it stand for
“B” for big?
“O” for octopus?
“B” for beware?

Does it stand for
“B” for bell?
“O” for obliterate?
“B” for bear?

Does it stand for
“B” for bully?
“O” for oil?
“B” for beast?

No,
they’re all wrong,
It’s because of my mum.
