Pop Quiz - Current Events

So, I am reading an article online about the higher incidence of people choosing not to immunize their children against childhood diseases, and they cite two moms in a small community in Oregon, one who immunizes her children as recommended by her Doctor and required by the school system, and another who decided to opt out and obtain a waiver based on her belief that it is unnecessary and potentially harmful to immunize.

Question: Based on the names of the children, can you guess which mother takes which stand?

Mother A (Jennifer) - children are named Hesperus, Athena and Etani

Mother B (Vanessa) - children are named Isabella and Haley

    I'll write my answer in the form of a poem:

    When you neglect shots
    The rest of us
    Might catch diptheria
    From little Hesperus!

    But that is nothing --
    Wait until you see Athena,
    Whose measles and mumps
    Are making her look greena!

    I feel most sorry for
    Odd-named Etani,
    Whose brush with diptheria
    Cut short her destiny.

    So, Mommy Jen,
    What were you smoking
    When you told the doc
    "No shots! I ain't joking!"??

    Is this question a trick?
    I ain't like mab, she's quick,
    But I have to confessa,
    That I think it's Vanessa.
