What with all the obits Nancee is posting, thought she might like to read
something a little "lighter" for a chance so here is one of my "favorite"
genealogy poems:

Heredity: A Genealogy Poem by Grandpa Tucker

I saw a duck the other day.
It had the feet of my Aunt Faye.
Then it walked, was heading South.
It waddled like my Uncle Ralph.

And when it turned, I must propose,
Its bill was formed like Aunt Jane's nose.
I thought, "Oh, no! It's just my luck,
Someday I'll look just like a duck!"

I sobbed to Mom about my fears,
And she said, "Honey, dry your tears.
You look like me, so walk with pride.
Those folks are all from Daddy's side."

I LOVE IT!!!

Jan Lund
