What's In a Name

WHAT’S IN A NAME  ?


Who can ever define  what they really are? I‘m   . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . a….?
Even God wasn’t sure and said only  -  I am who . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . am
Define electricty? All we know is it’s measured by the . . . . . … . . .   amp
But to lift something, the non-electric Greeks defined a . . . . . . . . . ramp
If you can’t define and spell  you may end up as an illiterate   . . .. .tramp
Illiterate cows from Gateshead may think that they. . . . . . . . . . . . trampl
But educated cows from Toledo  Ohio know that  they ..  . . . . . . .trample

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . .. . .. . . . . . . . . . . . .  .

NOTE

Gateshead, England   and Toledo, Ohio are 
well-known “beauty spots”  crammed with cows.
