She Could Not Pronounce Wr
She could not pronounce R’s, so Mr. Wrong was Mr. Wong.
He did not want to embarrass her, so he dressed the part
He came to meet her family, he broke out in merry song.
She knew at that moment no other fish could ever have her heart.
We need to get married, he told her. White your name on this line.
She bought a funny pencil that would make the color he had demanded.
He had no idea why it took her so long or why she continued to whine.
Not being able to say “Wr” was totally underhanded.
