Firstly thank you SEA, if it wasn't for you I'd never have written this. And to all you others who don't know the story this is an explaination.

What's In A Name?

Let me explain to you all about my name
And how calling me can turn into quite some game
It's not that my name is so hard at all
No, it's more that calling me becomes a role call
The reasons are very simple, easy as can be
Look I'll explain just what everyone else calls me

My first name is Marsha which is very good
But it's not responsible, it doesn't sound like it should
So for work I use one of my other three names
At work when I'm sitting at my desk, playing desk games
So I'm Beverley which sounds so bright
But Beverley is no fun it doesn't feel nice and light

On my computer when I'm wishing to impress
I use Grace which has such an air of style and dress
But Grace along with Beverley I dislike intensely
Grace isn't me, she doesn't crash the puter consistently
Then there's Melody who's always up for a lark
Melody isn't very bright, just as well she loves the dark

Then there are nicknames and I've got a few
Bubbles say my close friends is because from their veiw
Bubbles is exuberant she always sees the joke
Rather excitable is our Bubbles like a fizzy glass of coke
As for Chaos, that's the name my sisters call me
It explains itself and I think that even I would agree

I've been called Scatty which describes me true
Scatty because of getting lost and being behind the queue
But the one I prefer it suits me very well indeed
Was chosen by my friend SEA seems she sowed this seed
She named me Mushy she says it's because I'm soft
Also warm too, so what if I've got precious little in my loft

For any of you who can't see the joke here at all
That's a Kentish expression meaning I'm a bit of a fool
It's not surprising that I'm so very often muddled
With all these different names I get just a bit befuddled
So Mushy Marsha on these blue pages I'll be
Now Passions people will know what to call if they want me.


Mushy Marsha


(SEA hope you enjoy this one, it was too good an opportunity to pass up. Take care Love Mushy)

Mistress Majestic....is what you'll be to me...

If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound.

Marsha~
Well ... that would confuse me ...
but I'm easily confused ...
Well, at least I'd be confused if I knew
who I was
and then who would let me know I'm confused.
Then on the other hand ...
if you see me ... let me know who I am
or was
or will be ...

Sweetie ... we love ALL EIGHT of you !

And THEN there's
Perfectly-Wonderful-and-Funny-Poetess Marsha!
She's a HOOT ...
Oh, No ... there's already a HOOT~ and she's a hoot !

Thanks for getting me out of an obviously dull and dreary
report that I didn't want to do on a Monday !
LOL !
Now it's time for lunch !
Love ya'

Kari, Oh love, Majestic, surely not, I'm always dropping things. Perhaps I should put another verse in

Kari calls me Majestic, she means in the sweetest way
But I'll never be majestic who me? Now that'll be the day
I have always been a bit accident prone
You should have heard all six of my sisters moan
It's no wonder they called me Chaos, that's a loving term
With me there everything just will always crash and burn.
                    
Marge, I know just plain befuddled, glad it makes you smile. It does me too.  
Thank you soooooooo muchly, and I love being here.

Victoria thank you that's really kind of you. Don't think you'd get another me, (and the the world sighs with relief.)  
And all my sisters to a woman joins in the sigh.

Sven, Sybil? How? And so am I Sven so am I
                           
Take care
                Mushy Marsha

SEA, well I hoped love, I couldn't hope to match the polished phrases of Mark, so I did one of my fun poems.
(Besides, if I tried polished poems to you they'd end up all ascew)
that wasn't supposed to rhyme,
now I'm doing it all the time.
Okay I'll stop.
and I'm pleased it brought a big grin.
Take care love
