The Name’s the Same; or, Same Difference 

When you share a famous name,

  And yet, are not a relative,

It must be tempting, all the same,

  To parlay your appellative.

Folks hear your name and think you ought 

  To have a famous father;

To disabuse them of the thought

  Is such a lot of bother!
