My Odd Family Tree
If your family is odd or even quite weird
Or strange or lovely and charming,
If you open the closet and skeletons jump!
You might find this disarming!
But invite them out and parade them about
So that all will know that you have them,
Then write them in your book let the world have a look
At the different people in your family
The odd convict or two, Why between me and you
Is as normal as Waltzing Matilda
In this country it's Ok but others say Hey
What is that strange song your singin
So I guess just what matters is how at life you look
Or which side of the fence you are sitting
But the odd downright weird or the skeleton hid
Let's face it is part of your history.
It's what makes you you and what makes me me
So with pen or computer record them
If my motto you use then sign off with the words
"One more day above ground is a good one"

You might be addicted to genealogy if:
You can't drive past a graveyard without wondering if you have any
ancestors buried there.
You introduce your granddaughter as your descendant.
You can recite your lineage back 10 generations, but can't remember
your nephew's name.
You have more photographs of dead people than living ones.
You watch the movie/TV credits roll by to see if any of the surnames
are ones you are researching.
