A Lincolnshire Lad - Fanny Hands Lane
Fanny Hands a Victorian lady,
A lasting legacy of Ludford's history,
Nationally famous for it's name,
Now where else could you find another,
You can all to easily misinterpret what you don't understand.
History cannot be rewritten or renamed,
Alive and loved by people once but now just a sign,
Now just a footnote in the village's history,
Don't judge people by their names,
Students stealing your sign repeatedly.
Ludford's most famous lane and resident,
An amusing name to modern eyes and ears,
Now over shadowing it's own history,
English eccentricity at it's finest and funniest.

I would like to translate this poem
Amusing acrostic, but a pity about the errors in punctuation... the over-reliance on the possessive apostrophe
