Common
An ad for a movie caught my eye
And really, here’s the reason why:
A cartoon flick, its stars are voices;
One stood out, among the choices.
He’s a rapper, and his name
Is one which only he can claim.
It’s Common, which of course, it’s not;
Such irony I like a lot.
A name like that, it made me think,
Was chosen with a hidden wink.
I wonder if he has a son –
If so, I bet his name is Un.
