Names You Will Never See
Names You Will Never See
By Elton Camp
The image of a place or product is high on its list
Names that would damage it will always be missed
The names “Cheat and Swindle” for a law firm
Would make the two esquires sweat and squirm
“Dr. Payne’s Dentistry” conveys the wrong thought
“Crook’s Realty” honest Mr. Crook shouldn’t ought
“Greasy Spoon” would never be the name of a café
From “E. Coli Market,” a wise merchant stays away
The name “Adolph” for a boy is a very nasty trick
“Benedict” for Arnold’s son won’t be a good pick
“Roach’s Bakery” would be a major mistake
“Fair Weather Insurance,” nobody would take
No parents would name their daughter “Jezebel,”
And “Judas” for a son would be rejected as well
That there can be quite a lot, indeed, to a name
Romeo and Juliet found the outcome a shame
