Roberta
My name either means
of bright shining fame
or serious. It kind of depends
on which one of me shows up.
In reality it just signifies
my daddy wanted a son.
So they could call him
Junior or The Second.
But out I popped
lacking the credentials.
So they stuck an “a”
on the chosen name.
That’s me all right—not
very serious or famous
or male, but lordy—
can I sass!
