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.

A father gave his daughter fame;
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.
