The Name I Was Given

Well, I like the name I was given.

It has brought pleasure in my livin’.

Naida is a good rhyming name, you see.

It rhymes with tomata or potata (not pea).

When I drove school bus with the little ones,

We all had names with rhymes. Such fun!

But even more interesting, I must say,

In Finland my name means Eff. You. See .Kay!
