NAME IS A SHAME!

By alp

A family decided its babies,
Should be named like this, so things sound ‘new’:
The mother’s name’s first three letters,
Joined to the father’s name’s last two.

Jemima and Eric had Jemic.
Maria and David had Marid,
Stacey and Bobby had Staby,
But; poor Wanda and Ricky’s kid.
