Avery Rein

How special I must be

To have an animal named for me

Often I would whine

That no one called me REIN

Now I’m not so sad

I’m actually very glad

Knowing REINdeer share my name

Adding extra Christmas fame

THE STORY

 The embarrassment and shyness in a child whose name has been mispronounced in a public forum prompted me to give my grandchild a different perspective in looking at this unintentional error.
