“Our pictures may fade,
But our memories won’t.”
Dear Old Ma Ed
Every time that our family feuds
Ma pulls out her old family photos
“Why can’t you knuckleheads get along,
Like you all had, all those long years ago?”
She just sent me this old picture
Brother Jersey, in his Buddha robe
Next to him, his favorite cousin, Tom
They were always together, so long ago
They would tell each other terrible jokes
They would chuckle, until the wee hours
Never ever, a cross word between the two
But today, their friendship, has grown sour
And how marvelous Tiger Lily looks
Standing next to her brother, Pee Wee
In those days, I refused to get any haircuts
I still prefer this look, but it's very hard to see
Sister Tiger Lily and I, have remained close
But these days, all Jersey and Tom do, is fight
They are upsetting both dear old Ma and Tiger Lily
Neither of them believes that family feuds are ever right
Both of them think that old Jersey and Tom, should reconcile
They want to hear that these two, are once again, getting along
Just looking at this picture, has now got both of them teary-eyed
And I admit to a tear or two under all my hair, listening to this song
And Ma, please tell my Mean Tall Woman
I really don’t need to visit the groomer yet
If we can’t have any Ed Family Harmony
I will take solace, in looking like my pets
Memories, Memories, Family Memories,
I’m out in the moonlight, with my mutts;
I can still howl, at those good old days,
It was such a happy old Ed Family then.
I remember those good times,
We knew what happiness was,
Let those memories, live again.

i.e. the Hatfields and McCoys misery!!!

Their name calling only makes them look like stupid fools who never learned to behave properly. However I 'll probably be called names for what I just said about them,so I don't know if they'll ever learn!
This is a lovely poem which should make them want to be part of our family again. I hope they will.
Love sis tiger lily (the svelte one who is hoping to find a neck;-) heeheehee;-)
Please tell Peewee ED that his gesture is duly noted.
However, not unlike 'Fore-Play' ... we are just warming up ...
A Real Feud normally involves 'bodily harm' ...
Which the 'Devil' has threatened ...
I, however, being so Knightly, and thus, Gallant ...
Shall not be forced into 'Fisticuffs' ...
Sometimes, 'Poison Pens' are more deadly than Swords!
As soon as Ole Cuz 'Wuss-A-Lot' admits Defeat & Yields ...
I shall accordingly initiate 'Noblesse Oblige' ...
And Grant him a 'Special Family Dispensation' ...
Could anything be Fairer?
Now, for Dear Cuz J.D. ED ...
A few minor corrections to your faulty explanation of the Family PIC above:
1. Peewee did NOT look his best back then ...
when he was Totally Bare-Arse BALD,
he was like a miniature Yul Brenner!
2. I do NOT have Drink in my hand ...
the Right hand holds a Cigar -
while the Left holds a Rifle, for ...
Shooting 'Pot-Heads'!
3. Tiger Lily was Always Svelte (notice the e on the end) ...
and when she speaks FRENCH ... OOOH...LAH-LAH!
4. That is NOT a Bell in your hand ...
rather, an old-fashioned BONG which you used to FOOL MA!
5. Finally, 'Transgression = Misbehavior, Wrong-Doing,
Disobedience, Contravention, Indiscretion, Offense ...
THESE were the things a 'Devil' does ... resulting in the
Family's Un-Happiness ... as John The Baptist might say:
"REPENT!" "REPENT!" ... Not unlike TRUTH ...
ABSOLUTION SHALL SET YOU FREE!
Merely Admit your 'Brain-Damaged' Short-Comings ...
and be Welcomed Back into THE FOLD!
AGAPE LOVE ... Dear Ole Cuz Sir Cur TK ... the 'Old Fart Bitch' (per you).
to families. Together forever no matter !
Lady Mary Ann
Take care,
Sherry
And Tom, as usual, had a drink in hand,
Tiger lily had a svelt body then,
And I wearing my robe with bell in hand...
We looked like a happy family didn't we,
This you can by our faces plainly see,
But it didn't take much to ruin that happiness,
It was all Tom's fault, he was always the one to always transgress...Jurseeeeeeeeeeeeeeey
