There once was a young CPA
He kind of looked like Uncle Ray
His accounting was great
His work ethic top rate
And his firm thrives and grows yet today
Mispronounced “Ree-uh” and misspelled as Rae
It really isn’t that hard to say
Richard Rea’s name can cause a puzzle
Sometimes we want to put on a muzzle
Here’s a hint: it rhymes with “hay”
After 70 years, his principles we still follow
His truths still don’t ring hollow
Although he is gone
His legend lives on
And we continue to live the “Rea Way”
To hear Rea pronounced so poorly
Sometimes makes us want to act sorely
So to that we say
Please call us Rea (râ)
And we hope that you have a great day!
Here are some common misspellings of Rea & Associates:
Rae & Associates
REA & Associates
R.E.A. & Associates
Ray & Associates
