Pam I must apologise
I went and called you Pat !
I don't know how it happened
I should wear my Dunces hat !!
Oh rellies ........please don't mention them
Especially if they're called
Smith !! I've Johns and Charles
And Morris I recall.
I gave them up a while ago
Brickwall made my head ache
And I just felt I had to pause
For my sanity's sake !
I'll get back to them one day
Pendereds ? I've got all them
But Smith?? .........I'm just plain baffled
Especially the men !!
They all lived in a village
Almost next door to each other
Surely they were all related ?
Same father -different mother ??
And now my son has asked me
To do a family tree
All about his birth father
He'd like some history
Well his Dad was adopted
Nora Rivett was his Mum
Then she gave him to Florence May
So a Smith then he'd become !!
So now I have to delve some more
Two families to trace !!
Adopted ones and birth ones
More wrinkles on my face !!
But for my son I'll do it
Cos he's 40 this year
It'll be a special present for him
One that he'll hold dear
He'll know lots more about his Dad
Stories he never knew
And when my grandsons grown
He'll know his absent grandad too.
