Of more hyphens for Benson and Hawkins and Nash,

Wheeler and Richmond, then add one more dash --
Make some more room for "

When they hear the name "
Larva" then everyone grins,
But that grub's just the place where the fun all begins,'
Cause we've still got Hasu, not to mention the Finns
Named Suvio, Iso or Nisonen!
With the S and the Z, we go to Hungary,
With Szabo and Szilard and Szasz,
Szekely and Csak, and I won't even talk
About Eg - er - sze - gi, oh my gosh!
Torok and Miszei, Nagy, too, and Gyenge, Berkes and Harangi and Kun,
Kocsis, Karoly, Wladar; and, yes,
With the help of the consonant diphthong C-S,
Csupo and Csider, and then Enekes;I ought to be done with this soon.
There's this small part with Vang, and a few who're named Yang
Then Xiong; most just go by those three;
But it wouldn't be fair to leave out Her,
As that's also in my family.
There's Thor and Vue, and then next write Kue,
And Shur, Xong, and Lo, and Saykao;
Then there are Lor and Hang, and then Ly and Cha;
My great-great-great-grandmother gives us, as well, Pha;
Moua and Thao, one more hyphen, then Na;

There's a slight chance there may be a few that I missed,
But I'm pretty sure that I am done with my list,
And you look like you're getting a cramp in your wrist!
So let's end it up with Teritaau.
Teritaau,
Yes, let's end it up with Teritaau!
