THE NAME GAME

"What's in a name?"

If Carolina wears a caribina
and Charlotta has got a
car

Will Phillip pass the
stirrups and Matt
his hat?

Why does Wycliffe
need his handcuff
and Gracie need a lift?

Will that be too
much for Smith
If Sally eats
the pith?

Can Heather find
the feather in
her pillow for
little Willow?

What's in a name?
By evidence
no substance
and that's a real shame!

Thanks Roscoe

I realised that I'd written a few heavy themed and dour writes...it was time to lighten up and have a play with sound!
