Replying to a comment on:
Wind By Any Other Name (Free verse) by Edna Sweetlove
Is my lovely name a misnomer then?
I am myself though, yet a true Sweetlove.
Whatâs a Sweetlove? Itâs neither hand, nor foot,
Nor toe, nor any other naughtier part
Belonging to a being, sweet as moi.
Whatâs in a name? That which we call a fart
By any other name would smell as great;
And so Edna would (were she not Edna called
But maybe Deidre or Albert Buttocks),
Retain that wondrous odour which she owns
Without the lovely Edna Sweetlove name.
Thus the word fart which is no intrinsic
Part of me is but a blow-off of wind.
