Shemekia Copeland

Her manager wrote me an email
He mentioned her name and I pounced
Though her first name includes a letter
An i, that’s not even pronounced
And he explained what that first name rhymed with
Which is helpful for MC or speaker:
To the blues, she will treat yer
There’s no singer completer
And I’m pleased to meet
Miss Shemekia Copeland
