[hometext] => Why do they call it that?
[bodytext] => A business has to have a name; Just like you, to garner fame. Heres some names we hear each day; And how they came to be that way! HAAGEN DAZS sounds Danish; They chose it carefully; But its absurd! There’s no such word! Its fake, entirely! Richard Branson didn’t know; How to run an airline so; He chose a name that said that best; And VIRGIN AIRLINES scored a yes. American Family Life Assurance (of Columbus) knew; A shorter name and mascot would make them look brand new! Remember what they used to be when you hear that quack; They changed their luck with Peking duck and named themselves AFLAC. Pacific Aero Products was a vague name not worth knowing; Now its sounder, named for founder: Mr. William BOEING. When you add 100 zeros to the number one; You have whats called a googel; math rule number one! Since all computers talk in ones and zeros when they speak; They hoped youd think of GOOGLE to find the things you seek. “AGE OF BREAD” Ron Shaich said, Ill call my company; And that is why PAN-ERA Breads was named so perfectly! In 69 they made a line of jeans for kids alone; They named it GAP, to warn us that; The grown-ups should stay home! He cooked the books for Al Capone; And then his son was born; He quit the gang; they shot him, bang! But wait, don’t go, theres more. His son grew up without him; The Medal of Honor bore; An aero squadron leader; His plane shot down in war. If youre ever in Chicago, youll fly the skies he flew; The airport there is called O’HARE, named, dear Butch for you. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Storys over, time to go, hope this makes you want to know; Why we call things as we do! Maybe look up one or two! Good night, so long, good hunting too!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
