| A GENEALOGIST'S POEM Written by Mel Oshins They think that I should wash and clean, and be a model wife, I tell them it's more interesting to study Grandpa's life. They simply do not understand why I hate to go to bed, I'd rather do 200 years of research work instead! Why waste the time we have on earth just snoring and asleep? When we can learn of ancestors that sailed upon the deep? We have priests, Rabbis, lawmen, soldiers, more than just a few. And yes, there's many scoundrels, and a bootlegger or two. How can a person find this life an awful drudge or bore, When we can peek into the lives of folks who came before? A hundred years from now of course, no one will ever know Whether I did laundry, but they'll see our TREE and glow! 'Cause their dear old granny left for them, for all posterity, Not clean hankies and the like, but a finished Family Tree. My home may be untidy, cause I've better things to do, Checking all the records to provide us with a clue. Old granny's pulling roots and branches out with frenzied glee, Her clothes ain't hanging out to dry; she's hung up on The Tree! |
