What's A Name? by Earl Grave

I'm kinda scared of my name.
I changed it when I became
a poet. My old name, which is
the real one, kinda scares
me, too. The computer always
spells it "Christ" or "Christoph"
or "Christophe". That really
bugs me. It's enough ta give ya
a complex or something. So,
my pseudonym was invented
so that I wouldn't be scared.
But, it scares me. I'm sixty one
and I'm not dead, presently,
but I smoke, so, you know what
they say! And, you know, I'm not
a spring chicken anymore!
