This is as I suspected.  Thank you for clearing that up. I thought my
second attempt was exactly right. But you are correct that I was only
close. (J'avais pensee que le debut etait prononcer comme "de". - I must
also excuse myself for lapsing into a language other than English. But I
can't think of any English word that rhymes with "de".) However, don't
you think that "DispLAY" rhymes with "BellenGER" quite nicely? 

You see, here in Canada your name might be pronounced "Bell" as in
"dingdong"; "en" as in "end" and "ger" as in "girl". Such are the
vagueries of the Canadian people.

Moving on to another omission from Martin's lovely collection of poems,

There are some half a dozen more artists missing, but looking back at my
poetry so far, I think it's time for me to retire.
