I Climbed My Family Tree
 

From a Maine genealogist-

I climbed my family tree and found
It wasn't worth the climb
And so I scrambled down convinced
It wasn't worth the time
Some branches on my tree I found
were rotten to the core
and all the tree was full of sap
and hung with nuts galore
I used to brag my family up
before I made the climb
But truth compels me now to tell
Of those not worth a dime
I beg my friends who boast aloud
of ancestors so great
To climb their family tree and learn
Of those who weren't so straight
I've learned what family trees are like
Thats why I scrambled down
They're like a "tater vine" because
The best are underground.
