The Copper Tree

The Family Copper

The Copper Tree

Stood for years

In the back yard

It was the family tree

Underneath green grass grows

fondly planted were two parents

Six siblings 2 girls and 4 boys

A strong Irish family

Catholics all are we

In God we trust

engraved on our family plot

That raised the bar for all of us

a lot was expected when a lot was given

The six siblings had their rules to fill

The family business to control

Millions can roll in daily

From Investments all over the world

Now the boys were sly and crafty

They were into the market

Wanting to keep their seats

at the stock exchange

Where their Father sat before them

Building the family name

The called them the Copper Heads

and flipped a coin and picked 

some good stocks to invest in

The Copper Heads always came out 

On top of the market averages

each month, day and year.

The Boys were wheeling and dealing 

on Wall street they had their hedge

on life and it was awful bright

At home the Children were taught and schooled privately at the best schools around where the best money was spent the best education for the wealthy

 and the top one percent.

The Copper Tree

was the place 

for financial security

There are the 'Haves' and there are the 'Have Nots ', if they worked and used their brains to gain wealth, so be it. Kathie
