If I Could, I Would

If I Could, I Would

Perhaps, I would, if I could, give you a name, my Deer.
Precisely quaint would I go, I fear.
If only twice I'd thought it over
I'd have once called you Dover Greer.

Dover Greer quite quaint, I construed.
First thoughts muddled kindly withdrew.
If I chose to battle a while
My satisfaction would follow in style.
Yes, I would after imagination, give verbal designation.

If I could, I would follow through.
And give you the promised name fitting and due!
But, as pleasure has it
No name will you get, boo hoo!

Nonsense! Goofy! Silly! Contrite!
No name on earth would be completely right.
Try as I wish, try as I will
To figure your name would take extra frill.
When would time permit? Must it be prevalent?

Grover Deer, if I could, I would give you a name.
Oh! What a wonder! It's done my dear, quite sane.
