The Perfect Name

The Perfect Name
By Larry Linville

She was just shy of twenty when she wed.
So softly her marriage "I do's" were said.
Just shy of twenty-one she had a child
and the baby was also very mild.
The baby was just shy of seven pounds
and always smiled and she never had frowns.
Anne was the name of both mother and child
Neither of them ever lived very wild.
When mother saw her daughter was so tame
She new that Cheyenne was such a good name
