Immunity needs no Power after it

Title is not Surname
For people will blame....

the whisper what's your name. It
answered softly my names Forever. I

the whisper smiled and replied Yours.
My heart stopped, “ Forever Yours “...

He always brings me bliss!

Purdum is my name
                     Usually from father I obtain

She’s lovely, her name’s Fonda Fox
They are soon to marry

His surname because it is Cox!

16 more days to crown the king 
The dreams began Feeling like a failure 
Many have felt like me
Gifted spirit changes the doubts
Why slack to sit on the throne
I made the right choice

No turning back the time is now....

The ‘lionesses’ lost to Spain
Spain’s players are quaffing champagne
I may be unkind
But was the ref’s blind
My reasoning may be insane

I googled the Penso surname
The origin could be from Spain
Perhaps there’s some bias
So Spaniard's could Gaius
From watching finals I’ll abstain!...

I stumbled across
A stumbling block
Five Stolpersteine
Where a family used to live
Surname Jaffe
Made me think about
Think about those
Those the bells didn’t toll for
Made me think
Think about them
Them the bells doesn’t toll for
Them the bells doesn’t ring for
For me
The alarm clock rings
Think about that...

We know she's an actress
by the way she rolls her eyes
Rock N Roll widows always recall
insecure ventures down the stairways
what is your maiden surname?
the truth is always a chore
is that what we call eternal strife ?
reply to the minor bird,
cast a side eye
over the broad estate
you inherited
from your endearing sighs

A dental assistant named Bertie 
Found patients could sometimes get shirty 
One annoying old bloke
Would repeat the same joke
His appointment time was 'tooth hurty'

This old joke drove Bertie insane
Still he laughed at it once again
But the dental staff
Had the biggest laugh -
This gentleman’s surname was Payne!

In passing judgment on my character
Be not influenced by appearance,
Or by my surname;
Or for things perceived done or left undone,
Or perhaps words said in haste or left unsaid.
Neither judge me for those many knockdowns
That life may have inflicted upon me;
Let my true character be determined
Not by times knocked down,
But in whether I attempted to rise from my latest....

but as last she of the (my surname)s
me, (my name), just me.

I write,

  to the girl after me
be confident
be I want this and sure
neglect your heart once

   to the girl after me
Obey
her you ruined her mammary firmness 
desert don't tell your parents

  to the girl after me
hug me on arrival 
for if you grasp poetry
how grateful you would be...

A man loses his father 
and adulthood begins
Bathwater draining
the baby within

A son who is sireless
new destiny’s child
Whose choice is to run
or to stand and beguile

Alone with his memories
one image sustains
The voice but a whisper
its spirit reclaimed

To carry the title
his lineage holds
A surname retendered
—new history untold

JoAnn was and will always be my ONE and only love!
She was ONE of a kind, an Angel from above!
She was the ONE woman on earth for me!
I am honored to be the ONE she chose to eternity!
Together we were ONE and the same!
She was always proud of our ONE surname!
If I had ONE wish it would be for my ONE and only love next to me again!
I cherish our ONEderful memories and with me they always remain!...

When hearts are torn in sorrow
And days await weeks to borrow 
A scented Eurasian herb called yarrow
I stand afar in glee;

When blessings are so nearby in mass
And hedgehogs hop upon the green-grass
On a melody for a dancer trying a chasse
I stand afar in glee;

When love is the surname of every being
Shimmering sincerity and guaranteeing
Its rank in holiness and power of freeing 
I stand afar in glee!

Who are you
Your father's son or daughter
Or your mothers?
If you are your father's
You gotta have his surname
But if you are your mother's
Her name you don't take
But once you get married
Oh, boy! Your surname won't change
Hey girls, What makes you change your surname?
This is anomalous
Seemingly unfair
Discriminative
An assault on women rights
A blow to the fair sex
Whoever hath made this rule
He must be a damn big fool!!...

and our thoughts that were serious
turned life into acidity
but we're celebrating having survived
without tearing each other down too much
see, I allow myself to laugh at the televisions
as you solve cross puzzles
on this corner the milky way would be friendly
if we managed the odysseys correctly
maybe something dark is coming
mortal fleeing from the center of the universe
but we are ready the oracle said
because we have a surname hecatomb...

Three holiday brownies sat high up on the Fireplace Shelf
It is called a mantle, and it is made of oak, said a prissy Elf.
They laughed at his insistence, did not care about the druthers.
They were a merry threesome, triplet brownie brothers.

They were a trio and sang loudly and with Christmas gusto.
Their family surname was interesting – it was D’Agosto.
They were merry and happy and played instruments too.
Making the jealous elf angry before their concert was through....
