Regale Regalia

Regalia Hogweed, notable dunce
came up with a great idea for once.
If fish were flat, and houses went round,
and causes were lost before they'd been found,
then why O why should she carry the can
for the troubles and bubbles that others began.
Enough is enough, she stamped on her shoe,
a girl's got to do what a girl's go to do,
no longer shall I let them offer my name
whenever the need to apportion some blame,
I'll call myself Tommy, and paint myself red,
she thought, and to boot, I'll pretend that I'm dead!

This is a fun little poem.
I can name a few who've done similar, not least myself in some ways. :-)
