Rhonda Johnson-Saunders Poet Limerick

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?

Mike Dailey February 3, 2012 at 2:37 PM 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 Rhonda Johnson-Saunders February 3, 2012 at 7:53 PM 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
