Questions for the Accent on My Last Name

Questions for the Accent on My Last Name

When did you leave?

What did you do while you waited

generations to return?

Did you hear me when I tried to convert you

to an ‘i’ in the sixth grade?

Tried to make you Irish?

Did you feel it every time someone forgot

you? Ignored you?

Purposefully omitted you at Walgreen’s so

the pharmacist could understand?

Couldn’t include you because “special

characters” could not be included?
