Do You Write A Lot? Poet Narrative

The Name Game

I’d never have guessed the fuss behind names 
To the rich and famous, their claim to fame

To some a status of great importance
Some changed by deed poll, classed as a hindrance

Mr, a title and blend of Master
Mrs, feminine can one go faster

Such fuss over names, fill me with laughter
They’ll always be here, before and after.

Jslambert Mister Roboto April 1, 2012 at 6:52 PM Names are lame, and games are fun, but in all seriousness, I say we begin to shun the ones making all the MILL-I-ONS. What do ya say there nameless friend. I say we shake the rules and have some fun with them. By the way, welcome to the Soup...I wish you well, and don't eat poop! ~JSLAM
