Dear Girl in the bathroom,
It was third hour when I heard you
I knew it was something much worse than a meer flu
Why must you quietly weep in a moaning cry
Retard
A word of six letters
So casually said.
Not often thought of,
But easily read.
Yes, I know it means 'slow',
And I know you don't care.
When we are born
As children we are given lasting names,
And as we learn
We strive to prove ourselves by gaining fame.
How should a name make one feel?
