My family tree is but a single branch…

Poem Artwork


Not interested in from whence I came,
I know my parents & grandparents name,
From Germany & Ireland the family did of that name became,
Not far back does anyone go with a name that’s the same…

My grandfather was in the first world war,
My dad did participate in the second,
Since then no one found it necessary to go to war,
Except when my parents did argue, that was a major fare of war…

My parents only son; he could be a coward in battle,
Though he doesn’t know, but enough of this prattle,
This family tree has gotten as far as me,
Seems to me the last of my name I will be…

I just found out that I'm a mixture of Scottish, English, German,
Dutch and a few more. It is your family history ED and you never know who is hiding in your closet....

Always,

Many years ago, I accidentally backed into a tanker truck that had, in big letters, Matlack, painted on the side. When I called them up about damages, I found out they were a New Jersey company.

Somewhere along the line, one of your ancestors jumped off the family tree and started a successful trucking company in your backyard. If you did some digging and found out your connection, you might be entitled to a big inheritance. Wouldn't that tickle your…!

Eh . . . Maybe all of us who have a strange family tree should get together and get snot-slinging drunk. Eh . . . Wouldn't solve anything, probably make it worse, but what the hell . . .
