The Peculiar Name

A peculiar name Is not the same As any other name You may say Any other rose By a different name Smells the same But not necessarily Nay, nay A peculiar name Such as mine Encases the embodiment Of joy and refine Not to mention The lovely scent of pine A name can define A life or a line But not every time Especially in the case of Leera Slime That poor dear soul Leera Slime The name brought sorrow And one friend, sole But Leera Slime Was very kind And sweet and also gentle And all of them combined In many cases The name places The dear soul in tight little spaces In attempt to win all the name races But a name defines Whether you're Criminal Crime Or Lillian Prime But not necessarily Not all the time
