Namely Confusion

Sometimes I feel the urge to curse my mother,
For the day she chose my name!
I love it so, and people say it's pretty,
A shame she forgot that it's a guy's name!

It makes for some laughs,
And a lot of explaing.
Guilt for me when people realise,
But I say "such as", Life's dull without suprise!

Oh and that is a pretty flower! I'm also called Lilly by my family and some friends. It doesn't bother me really when people don't realise! I feel more sorry for them as sometimes they can get really embarassed, although hopefully not to any great effect! :) Thankyou for your explanation! It's a lovely one! ~Leander
