Jack Ellison Poet Limerick

Byard, a Real Peculiar Name

A peculiar middle name, all my life I've been burdened with
Twas “Byard”, that's even worse than “Archibald” or “Biff”
What were Ma and Pa thinking
They must have been drinking
My nickname of Jack saved the day and made a big diff!

Tim Smith November 24, 2015 at 1:54 PM On that beautiful morn when our dear Jack appeared...They thought he looked perfect now if he just had a beard....they thought and they thunk....they went out and got drunk...and decided to have his middle name byard Jack Ellison November 25, 2015 at 6:34 AM BTW it's pronounced, By-ard! Strange, no matter how we pronoun it!!!

Carol Eastman November 24, 2015 at 10:43 AM My middle name was Sue... Sounds a bit like callin the pigs- it's true... And Carol's not my cup of tea, too... It's Dragon's Mama I want to be- you see... Not old fashioned names that used to be... But if you like those names it's OK with me...
