In your closet are all sorts of things like coats and scarves, and hats, Some have shoes, and bags, and some store sheets and Stuff like that, But one thing cannot be denied that many hide with shame Their long lost rellies in there, the ones who er ..... um......... came, And also those who passed away in circumstances strange Including ones who wore white coats that buttoned at the back! So come on now, be brave with me and let that closet shake, Let out the skeletons within, and let them wander round And get some exercise at last, they're for your family bound, But never be ashamed of those who've gone on before For when you let just one out you will find many more, So give that closet now a shake and let them out to walk, Then dress them in their Sunday best, then we will sit and talk, Of all our grand relations, and how big our tree has grown And share with all the stories of our skeletons from home. For some people shake their family tree and find branches of rellies With Royals and Earls and Princes and government exchequers But folk like me give it a shake and only nuts come falling , And rellies who to say the least, are some what quite appaling, They're some we'd really like to hide and shove back in the closet With other family skeletons like Uncle Rex who wasnt ! Well wasnt really Uncle Rex he was really Max's dad, He jumped ship in Australia because it turned out he was bad He was not really popular except with the police! He was wanted in three continents and said he needed peace, So he joined the long, long list of those the family keep hidden, But some one with a family tree, now really wants revealing All those family skeletons and take them for an airing, So on this site they ask such things as who were Rex's parents? And was he Max's Uncle or was he actually his dad And what year did he marry Jane, if he ever really did But this for sure born in 1904, we sure know now he's dead. So if you would like to know more about Great Uncle Rex Post on this site, but don't be surprised when the answer you get back Is one that says I'm sorry but Janes husband was Bill But Max's dad was Peter Jones who jumped off ship as well.
