I appreciate the wit and humor in this poem, Ron. Love and peace,

Regis

I'll remember not to call you Ronald. lol Well written.

Very much enjoyed this, and the imformality of "Ron" Some people depend on titles for their ego, those who deserve titles usually don't depend on them or want them used by their friends.

Ron Rules
I have a nephew name Ron
can be all that bad
Enjoyed reading this well penned piece
Peace be with you "RON"

"Ron" does have a
certain ring,
so be it!

Lady Vivian

my cousin's name is Ron ... we call him Da Ronster ...

Love this poem! Hull is not too strange a word for me, being a location up north, have you heard of Rod Hull and Emu :) You'll definitely want to shoot me if you look at his videos on YouTube.

Wonderful ! And sure gonna abide by what you say lest i get shot !!
Best wishes, neerja

So you're playing the "name" game, eh? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but Ron's a fair game name, ain't that neat! And Hull's a "Hull" of a name, too, as far as that goes... but I better quit now before I gets the throws, ya knows!

Liked the poem, pithy and pert... for a Dr. you know you're pretty darn smert! (Ouch, that one hurt ;)

Roger

Write a poem about your name, what a great way to be remembered! M.True

I promise to only call you Ron; not Don nor Tom or Lon only Ron.
Cheers,
Dan

Fun poem Dr. Hull.

Dr. Latham.

Dr. Hull,

Please do not call me 'Eddie'
It's a moniker that I'll always dread,
And do not confuse me with old Matlack,
Which is why I now call myself -'Mr. Ed.'

we all have our preferences about that which we are called, quite humorous

I don't think I have to worry about being shot by you, for I believe I have always referred to you as "Ron". But you're right: people are very particular about their name. Most people call me David; however, there are a few who call me Dave. But, I prefer David. One of my high school teachers always called me Davy, and I hated it. There was at least one other Hull at one time, for I once dated a girl whose last name was Hull. Another great job, Ron.

David

P.S. Gee, I hope my nephew, Ronnie, doesn't think people view him as being a sissy. That is what everyone I know calls him.

~Ron~
Humor is a good thing!! Dr. Ron Hull now that's distinguished.

Lady Mary Ann

Very nicely said, Ron.

So Dr. Hull it is. What's your doctorate in? The only doctors I know are medical doctors and that's the worst kind. I suppose I can trust you now because you're a doctor. The best I can claim is a bachelor, so I guess ya got me beat. Definitely doesn't look good on a letterhead, but I guess I can fool a crowd of yokels in a dark alley with it sometime. Got to be a better joke than my aching back, my diabetes and my weak heart. Oh well. I definitely will spell your name well whatever prefix you add to it. Funny poem R...urrr Doctor Hull. Bob

My last name is Schafer,
with a c, one f, and one e.
But it always gets misspelled,
and it gets the bettewr of me.

Having my last name mispelled,
can become rather dull.
Why couldn't i have an easy name,
Like Dr. Ron Hull

Good one Ron,
Michael D.

How's about this?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoYsfbq3vMc

As a norm, I have called you Ron,
Because it rhymes with Don,
Sometimes as well with swan,
But you are far from being a swan,
And if I wanted to call you Ronnie,
I'd be most certain to be FAR away when doing so,
But as not to drag this comment on,
I will end it here for I know not what I say...(as usual) e

Yes we are all fussy about what we dont like about us , may be a name, surely we dont like to be called about,
Ron is cool and Dr Hull is great. And anybody will love small names when they sound so good like yours do!!
In India we have all sorts of short names,some are funny and strange.eg: Mine is lalu,then there is Anu,Chintu, piglu,kiki,monu,tinku,Bittu,chonju,and our dogs are named Tommy,Danny, Laika, Caeser,Simpson,Ruby Mickie.... and so on. So have a nice smile and dont shoot !

I am not taken a chance getting shot, so RON it is...Great poem making a point.

Sometimes people call me Jan or Jean. I answer to just about anything. I've been called worse! Thanks for the "heads up", Ron.

Love ya!

Jane

I'll remember that, R.

As this poem shows, people are very particular about their names. However, my older cousin said, "Call me anything you want. Just don't call me late for dinner."
