February Funny Bone

In the month of February 'twas fate
We chose our special wedding date
        A love, I cannot explain
        Couldn’t wait to take his name
So why do I still hyphenate?       


By Rhonda Johnson-Saunders, January 30, 2012
for Linda-Marie's February Funny Bone contest

First place finish

Thanks, Cecilia!! Great name, you have. I love that song by Simon and Garfunkel. My parents were from that generation so the songs from that era are the soundtrack of my early life. Sorry for going off on a tangent. Thanks for the congrats! Blessings, Rhonda :)

ther once was a gal who did not hesitate to alter her name with a small hyphenate Don't question the motive It was purely devotive to a family she would not alienate

I LOVE IT! How funny and true. Some automatically assume I'm trying to be a modern woman. But not the case. I did not want to give up my maiden name or married name. You described my feelings perfectly in a limerick. Thanks for the reply. Blessings, Rhonda
