Family Tree
Family Tree
Her wrinkled hand
Took hold of his
As she sang a grand old song
Her grandson looked at it and said:
You’ve been in the bath too long!
She said, “Those creases are like the circles
within a wonderful tree!
It shows how long I’ve been around
How long that I’ve been me!”
There’s a lot of creases there, Grandma
They’ve spread right up to your face!
I reckon if you were a tree,
you’d have grown right into space!
“Well, thanks for that! My dear Grandson
You’ve made me feel so old!
Best get you off to bed in case
I suddenly turn green with mold!”
