MARRIAGES
Governor Gerry Brown marries Amanda Rice
She becomes Amanda Brown-Rice - look!
David Soul and Marguerita Cook? She’s become a Soul-Cook
Stephen Fry and Amanda Fish -- the Fry-Fish couple - nice!
One of the Brothers Grimm married a girl called Betsy Reaper
Soon she was a Grimm-Reaper to be seen.
He’s Mr. Black. She’s Ms green, now turned Black-Green,
A close friend of John Windows-Peeper.
Going round to visit the Bird-Trappers tonight?
No honey, thought I’d pop in and see the Trouser-Wetters.

NOTE
All these unusual surnames really exist and many more besides; and the
trend to double-barreling names sometimes does produce funny results .
