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. What’s a Sweetlove? It’s neither hand, nor foot, Nor toe, nor any other naughtier part Belonging to a being, sweet as moi. What’s 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.
