My name is Angela Lansbury
But there's more than one of me
The famous actress did more publicity
I shouldn't complain, because it's free
However, there is some confusion
My books and hers are on the same page
The websites are under some delusion
I'm mainly an author but rarely on stage
People seem surprised that there are two
Some still don't know, some never knew
On LinkedIn I once found thirteen
John Browns know what I feel and mean
In Wales a common names is Jones
I'm sure more than one Tom is known
So many Tailors, some called Liz
Some Mrs, some misses, and some called Miz
In France girls are Marie, in India Patel
Easy to remember, but a phone book hell
As for Mohammed, I must refrain
From exclaiming, what an unusual name
As for the horror of being just a number
In Singapore Lees must give numbered ID
Otherwise your lottery ticket
Might go to another in your family
All day long I have to explain
Yes, that really is my name
Sometimes I think life would be more easy
If I had been named X Y Zee.
