What’s in a Name?

A friend of mine whose parents named him Justin
Can’t be convinced that patricide is wrong.
Quite late at night you’ll often find him bustin’
With plans to move his ma and pa along.
For forty years his name has made him suffer
From dreadful jokes from everyone he knows
Though other malcontents have lives far tougher
His nominally may be the worst of woes
He’s asked them both if there was any reason
They named him thus when he was but a boy
Since they have none he swears next parent season
Their tragic deaths will fill his heart with joy
“Is calling someone Justin such a crime?”
“Did I not say? His family name is Thyme!”
