Misunderstood

Mr. Stood named her "Under" because he could But it really didn't do her much good When they ask this, "What's your name miss?" She had to say, "I'm Miss Under Stood!" About names Under just wasn't fair When her boyfriend his love did declare She already knew, There'd be no, "I do!" Simply because, his last name was Ware!
