ANGELA & BRIAN



 

SOME ENGLISH SURNAMES ARE QUITE FUNNY ~ SOME ARE VULGAR ~ MANY REFER TO PROFESSIONS & SOME ARE CONTRADICTORY ! MR LONG IS ONLY 5 FOOT TALL & MR SHORT IS NEARLY 7 FOOT ! MR NICE IS NASTY ~ MR NASTIE IS VERY NICE !

 

TIS said in some cases ~ shrewd Nature has planned

That names with their calling agree

For TWINING the Tea Man ~ who lives in the Strand

would be WINING ~ deprived of his  *T* !

 

BUT ~ I would like to emphasise 

In fact ~ it oft seems otherwise !

WASSY LATE is always EARLY ~ ISSY EARLY always LATE

The Triplet Girls ~ Cool - Calm - Collected ~ are always in a STATE !

 

MY UNCLE Mr Serious was always playing PRANKS

Our Doctor Dr Wiseman ~ was thick as two short PLANKS

Miss Goodtimegirl (alas - alack) was always Prim & Proper

And young Buster Lawless ~ ended up a Copper !

 

SOME NAMES ~ reflect a Man*s Profession

My Cousin ~ Frank Collector ~ has a postage stamp Obsession !

Charlie Coffin ~ he was very Grave ~ now he*s an UNDERTAKER 

When WICK & WAX got married they became - a FANCY CANDLE MAKER !

 

IT ALL all seems serendipity ~ One last case I must state 

When ISA FAT married IMA THIN

Their KIDS were all ~ of average WEIGHT !

So ~ if you abhor your NAME ~ It is your Folks who you should BLAME ! 

 

 Thanks for visiting comments welcome ~ Love Angela & Brian  ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿค๐Ÿงก

    A fine write A&B. You know Bill Stickers and his friend Bill Posters? Why they always prosecute them? What they done wrong?! lol.

      SOMETIMES UNCLE STEVE ~ One can be penalised for just having the wrong name ! Friends of ours in Liverpool christened their Son JONAH and he never ever got picked for the Football Team ! Do you remember the Etertainer NOSMO KING ? H e found his NAME plastered on the wndows of Railway Carriages in every train in the UK ~ think about it !

      Blessings & Joy to You & Your How Ling Hound

      There are so many - I had a friend called Richard Pitt - he always got quite angry when anyone called him Dick. and Mr Long is 5 feet tall. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

        Very True Uncle MIKE ! Brian & I are quite lucky ! People sometimes write to BRIAN as *BRAIN* which he is ! Also they write to me as *ANGEL* which i am of course ! I knew a Man called Richard Spotter - they always called him PUDDING which was quite amusing !

        Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
        Love ANGELA & BRIAN ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™
