HER NAME by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "IN SEARCH, FROM A TO Z, THEY PASSED"
Last Line: AND SHE'S SIMPLY 'LITTLE PEG'
Subject(s): BABIES;NAMES; INFANTS;
IN search from "A" to "Z" they passed,
And "Marguerita" chose at last;
But thought it sounded far more sweet
To call the baby "Marguerite."
When grandma saw the little pet,
She called her "darling Margaret."
Next Uncle Jack and Cousin Aggie
Sent cup and spoon to "little Maggie."
And grandpapa the right must beg
To call the lassie "bonnie Meg;"
(From "Marguerita" down to "Meg")
And now she's simply "little Peg."
