WHAT'S IN A NAME?
What's in a name?" the poet asks. And as the words you scan Tlie question really seems too much For ordinary man. Yet to the youth called ''Algernon" Girls speak in gentle tones, And snicker when they're introduced To ''Hezekiah Jones." And patriotic citizens Display their mental skill And name the city "Claremont" That was once called "Shickemlle." And the belated wanderer His «onl to soi row gives
If suddenly the poweis lcnamo The street m which he Jives. And so, with due respect unto The song the poet sings, You must confess that in a name There may be lots of things.
