Or Maybe it is the Name?

Beth, a simple name.

Derived from Elizabeth.

Karen, from my mom.

Smith, from my husband.

Maybe people do not remember me, because my name is Beth.

I wonder if I was Lizzie...

Lizzie Borden took an ax,

gave her father forty whacks.

Elizabeth.

I tried it out for a while in third grade.

I liked to think I was named after Queen Elizabeth.

I think I would need to wear my tiara every day.

In high school some people thought I was Bethann Angie.

One of my good friends was  Angie.

People always said "Beth and Angie".

I morphed into Bethann Angie.

*Tiffany with no last name.

Don't those young girls know

you are supposed to have to have a last name.

Hi! I'm Kimberly.

A friend of a friend thought my name was Bethward.

She combined my first name and maiden name.

I was introduced at a party as Bethward.

How does that even make sense?

I always wanted to be named Finn.

I thought that would be the coolest name for a grandma.

Finn, can we make cookies?

Come with Finn and we will paint a picture.

The crazy lady with all of the cats.

How many cats does she have?

Black cats, gray cats, striped cats.

Come here kitty, kitty.

I have grown to love my name.

It is not exciting.

It is not memorable,

but it is me.
