Yep, the double n in Johnn is correct.
My example
A Dish to Die For
You don’t
want me on
your dinner plate
cute though I
may be
A Dish to Die For
I am the most
poison fish in the sea!
(Yet Japanese do relish me.)
Only expert can parse
safe parts of me.
A Dish to Die For
Many
dumb folks died
when they served me
merely fried.
