What's in a Name?

My wife says I'll never be famous

'Cause Whiskurz is a stupid name

I said, "That's not what my parents called me"

She said, "Your real one is just as lame"

"You'll never be a William Shakespeare,

Longfellow, Frost or Poe"

"You won't even be a Dr. Seuss,

I hate to have to tell you so"

I said, "Whiskurz is easy to remember"

She said, "That's just a dumb excuse"

I said, "At least I don't just make names up,

What is a Dr. Seuss?"

She just shook her head and walked away

While I pondered what she had said

I yelled, "It doesn't really matter who they were,

'Cause like Elvis, they're all dead"

So I'll change my name to Elvis

But if I get sued, she's the blame

I still think Whiskurz is easy to remember

But I guess it won't bring me fame

Very cute and a fun read. I like "Whiskurz" and do believe you are correct...it is quite memorable and catchy. Your writing is what makes you stand out not just a name...

Personally? I think you're good enough to get the fame, doesn't matter what your name is. Oh and the poem was sort of funny and a great read. Good job. :)
