Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

The Name Shame

An anagram of Drew Barrymore
‘Merry Wardrobe’ of this I am sure
But with fortune and fame
Some kids get a daft name
‘Grimes’ baby may get issues galore
 
X AE A-Xii is his name
It reminds me of a PC game
The poor little mite
Is in the spotlight
His parents can’t have any shame

Grimes and Elon Musk’s baby is called ‘X AE A-Xii’ - pronounced
 X Ash A Twelve.

Connie Marcum Wong June 3, 2020 at 5:36 PM That is crazy to strap a child with that kid nd of name....makes me think of Gweneth Paltro naming her kid Apple. A good one Jan! xxoo Jan Allison June 3, 2020 at 7:23 PM Its amazing parents can land their children with these ridiculous names, I was thinking of the kardashians with 'north west' i wondered if they would produce lots of babies with different compass point names lol:-) hugs jan xx

Mark Koplin June 3, 2020 at 4:48 PM That is funny. Poor kids today Jan Allison June 3, 2020 at 5:13 PM yeah got to pity the poor wee mite lumbered with that name:-( hugs Jan xx

Joseph May June 3, 2020 at 2:01 PM Sounds like a rocket, people are out of control with these names, but here's one for you Jan, : President Bush of the USA = A fresh one, but he's stupid.. Jan Allison June 3, 2020 at 2:46 PM lol Joseph yeah it does sound like a rocket name - got to pity the poor child in many ways I think his upbringing will be very different to the norm:-( hugs jan xx

Rico Leffanta June 2, 2020 at 2:55 PM I am surprised no one has commented on the poor chap always being at the end of an alphabetical queue. Let us hope he goes to school in China! Aloha! Rico Jan Allison June 2, 2020 at 3:03 PM lol Rico - I can imagine he will be in therapy rather than in school - poor kid:-( hugs jan xx

John Watt June 2, 2020 at 10:06 AM Good thing they have the money to pay for the therapy that poor kid will need. Thanks for the smile today, Jan. Hope all is well. Hugs ~ Z Cashmere Platypus XIV (my new name) Jan Allison June 2, 2020 at 3:00 PM poor child will be in therapy from a very early age, love the name Mr Playtpus XIV:-) hugs Jan x

Judy Ball June 2, 2020 at 6:39 AM Oh that poor kid. I have wondered why certain well known stars and celebrities name their children what they do. God Bless my friend. JB Jan Allison June 2, 2020 at 2:53 PM Got to pity the poor wee thing:-( hugs Jan xx

Charles Messina June 2, 2020 at 5:03 AM What will a child's name be called a hundred years from now (lol) Perhaps they will all be just a number. Love this, Jan. Jan Allison June 2, 2020 at 2:53 PM reminds me of The Prisoner - I am a name not a number:-( hugs Jan xx

David Mchattie June 2, 2020 at 12:29 AM I wonder what goes through their minds. I hope they are better at parenting then naming. Wonderful poem. Have a great day my friend. Jan Allison June 2, 2020 at 2:52 PM Having read some stuff on line I think he will have quite a bizarre childhood:-( hugs jan xx

Michael Tor June 1, 2020 at 10:21 PM Wait until he goes to school. Can you imagine what he will be called? He will be thanking his dad a lot. Don't think so. How do you spell weird? Enjoyed reading Jan feel empathy for his son though... Jan Allison June 2, 2020 at 1:06 AM It beggars belief doesnt it! I did another poem some years back about celebs calling their kids stupid names but this one takes the biscuit - they are also going to allow 'him' to decide his gender .. heading for one screwed up mixed up kid:-( hugs JAN xx

Gershon Wolf June 1, 2020 at 6:16 PM Ha, ha! And I always thought that 'Moon Unit Zappa' was pretty ridiculous. This takes the cake... Love that photo of the brat in the headband too,... now an establishment tennis icon. lol. ~ Gershon Jan Allison June 1, 2020 at 6:54 PM I may work on the first 2 lines and make it all about the ridiculous name - they did have problems even registering it!:-( hugs Jan xx
