Geneology

Genealogy

 

When I researched my family tree.

I found out that quite possibly

 I should conceal my ancestry.

They were not as my mum believes

 aristocrats but cattle thieves.

It’s odd how family pride perceives

 their ancestors as respectable.

It makes them feel more comfortable

 although it is a load of bull.

I’m not ashamed why should I be

because of my discovery

It makes no odds I am still me.

You will do well to bear in mind

 you may not like what you will find.
