A license plate that said her name.
His gift to her on Christmas Day;
For her birthday, by the way.

In a riddle dontcha know;
It read - JKMNO.

To cars behind it was a game;
To try and guess his daughter’s name!
By going through the alphabet;
You’ll see whats missing here, and yet –

Very few would come to tell;
Her name from just a missing L!
As his daughter went her way;
Her father hoped wed point and say;

See that plate? Why, theres no L!
And theyd be right - for dad chose well;
His birthday gift to sweet Noell. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 113 [topic] => 35 [informant] => softerware [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SpecialOccassion )

it hurts man,
the daughter, the little girl
all that pride and joy
she is mine and yet
not to keep or to
keep, nor to lose
but she is missed

I read licence plates
like I read speed signs

in heavy traffic
with the feeling that I/'/m
missing something
all the time

sweet...
Peace!
