Smith-hyphen-Moore-hyphen-Brown-hyphen-Gore,
Some more hyphens with Johnson and Green;
Palmer and Hook, and then Matterson, Cooke,
And Pierce, and then Winters and Dean;
Some more of my family is Drinkwater, Wheatland, then Waters, Fields,
Hopkins and Banks;
There`s Studham and Stidham, then add a whole cache
Of more hyphens for Benson and Hawkins and Nash,
Wells-Wheeler and Richmond, then add one more dash --
Make some more room for Turne now. Thanks!

And let`s not forget Lafayette and Vallette
And Peugeot, Baudelaire, Beliveau!
Laroche-Vaux-Giroux-Beauchamp-LaCasse-Ledoux, and Dupont and Dupris
and DuBose
And after I`ve recited Bruchon and D`Alain,
And then Brun and LeJean and Caron and Jourdain,
Beaudoin and Mallein and Cézanne, Guillotin,
I can balance this pen on my nose!
Russo-Petrini-Vespucci-Rossini,
Dell`aqua-Farina-Falcone
Moretta and Izzo and, yes, even Zizzo,
Vinci-Gentile-Calderone
Poletta-Guidotti-Puccini-Barsotti, my list is still far from
complete
`Cause there`s still Lo Bianco, Lombardo, Rossetti,
Quilici, Costanza, Buono, Allegretti
Of course Malucelli and then Cappelletti
Now, how would you like some to eat?
Cohen-Strauss-Kahn-Kaplan-Levin-Dayan,

Epperson-Edison-Murray-Farquhar,
Morrison-Boyle-Abernathy-Dunbar,
Forsythe-McLeod-Cunningham-Crichton-Urquhar;
Gordon, Andrews, and what else is there?
Ezra-Bazzar, and Ali and Zavvar
Rafsanjani, Tufayl, Ibrahim;
And I`m proud to concede that there`s also Said,
Karampour-Hussein and Rahim.
I can trace a whole streak of some names like Meliq and Saleh on my
family tree;
Besides that: Rezaie-Abdul, and there`s Khomeini,
Soleimani-Karami; and Hamzeh-Momeni,
Hayyam-Quzman-Muhammad-Abdallah-Joveyni;
Akidjan-Surayj-Taymuree!
By some choice of karma, the surname of Sharma
Was assigned to a small select few;
And Vasu-Devan, Sankar, Sanakran and Shankar,
And Yadav, Raman and Babu!
Chandrasekharan-Sen-Gandhi-Prabaker, then there are Chandra and Singh
and Iyer;
Ramaswami, and then Ramakrishna and Bhatt;
Patel, Srinivasan, I also have got
The names Bhattacharyya, Sandhu, Venkat,
Sankarasubramanian in there.
Arita-Yamada-Tanaka-Imada;
Tashiro-Hitomi-Sasaki,
Toyota-Fukuchi, and then Yamaguchi;
Suzuki and then Kawasaki!
The next names -- Nakanishi, and Ito and Kishi,
Also hail from the land of Japan,
But I still have to list Honda and Minamoto;
Watanabe, Uyeno, of course Miyamoto,
Yamamoto-Akaishi and then Yoshimoto!
Shimamura . . . but do call us san!

Musta-Alalahti-Keskilahti,
Raty-Koski-Ojala;
There are Nurmi, Partanen, and Kangas, Mustanen; Saari-Aaltonen-
Waltonen;<
When they hear the name Larva then everyone grins,
But that grub`s just the place where the fun all begins,
`Cause we`ve still got Hasu, not to mention the Finns
Named Suvio, Iso or Nisonen!
With the S and the Z, we go to Hungary,
With Szabo and Szilard and Szasz,
Szekely and Csak, and I won`t even talk
About Eg - er - sze - gi, oh my gosh!
Torok and Miszei, Nagy, too, and Gyenge, Berkes and Harangi and Kun,
Kocsis, Karoly, Wladar; and, yes,
With the help of the consonant diphthong C-S,
Csupo and Csider, and then Enekes;
I ought to be done with this soon.
There`s this small part with Vang, and a few who`re named Yang
Then Xiong; most just go by those three;
But it wouldn`t be fair to leave out Her,
As that`s also in my family.
There`s Thor and Vue, and then next write Kue,
And Shur, Xong, and Lo, and Saykao;
Then there are Lor and Hang, and then Ly and Cha;
My great-great-great-grandmother gives us, as well, Pha;
Moua and Thao, one more hyphen, then Na;
It`s a long name, but don`t have a cow!
There are Sangco and Songco,
Atengco, Tiongco;
Toliongco and Tangco; Siangco;

There`s Ravuvu, and Vailahi,
Leialoha, and Keahi;
Mandela-Matsepe-Ngema-Boganda;
Bambara-Tutu-Opango, and Banda.
There`s a slight chance there may be a few that I missed,
But I`m pretty sure that I am done with my list,
And you look like you`re getting a cramp in your wrist!
So let`s end it up with Teritaau.
Teritaau,
Yes, let`s end it up with Teritaau!
