"Hi there,

How are you?"

"I'm fine, thank you,"

"Can I take your name?"

"My name is Carol Ann,"

"Ok, got it!"

Five minutes later...

"I'm sorry, but you've spelt my name wrong!"

"It's Ann without an E!"

My name is Carol Ann,

I'm here to tell you about my middle name,

I tell you every day!

There is no E in my name;

Please stick this in your brain,

My name ain't no game;

Do I have to tell you once or twice?

Will you please try to get it right?

There is no E in my middle name,

And;

Your misspelling is driving me insane!

    Great job! I know exactly how you feel because people mispronounce my given name Andrea incorrectly and my nickname is ANDI and they always spell it with a Y like a boy.
