Norman Noun

The noun it is a naming word,
Its pockets full of labels:
It sticks them on to objects,
Like cabbages and tables.

It labels all the people -
Boy, girl, woman, man -
And places - Ethiopia,
Wyoming, and Japan.

The noun names all the animals,
From rhino to mosquito -
And without it, all Creation
Would go round Incognito.
