Fred?

From out of the cold Caribbean 
Into the Desert Libyan
There crawled a strange amphibian,
And we shall call him “Fred”!
You say you want to call him “Ted”?
But I want to call him “Fred”!
You like "Maurice" instead?
Or "Barnaby" or "Red"?
Or "Lucifer" or "Ned"?
Well, anyway, he’s dead.

Shel Silverstein
