Analysis of Mrs. Delphine Jackson IV: Our Twin’s Names

Steven Bowman 1997 (Voorhees Township, NJ)



Welcome back from the hospital,
Mr. and Mrs. Jackson goes home.
The twins will be named twice ya,
My Lord, they’re so pretty to come.

She named them Maxie and Rosie,
Short named Maxwell and Rosabell.
What great names right? All happily,
Just couldn’t wait for this to be final.

Yes, this is going to final continuation,
Sorry for that to be that way but it’s so.
Just couldn’t want to say the end of it,
Hopefully y’all like this, it’s all I’ve knew.

Sorry I’m getting back to this storyline,
The Jacksons went back home happy.
Maxie and Rosie still wanted to whine,
As the twins grew, they became family.
