THE GENEALOGIST'S LAMENT I started out calmly, tracing my tree, To find, if I could, the making of me; And all that I had was great grandfather's name, Not knowing his wife or from which he came I chased him across a long line of states, And came up with pages and pages of dates. When all put together, it made me forlorn; I'd proved that poor granddad had never been born. One day, I was sure the truth I had found, Determined to turn this whole thing upside down. I looked up the record of one Uncle John, But then found the old man was as young as his son. Then, when my hopes were fast growing dim, I came across records that must have been him. But the facts I collected made me quite sad, Dear old great granddad was never a dad. I think maybe someone is pulling my leg, I'm not all sure I wasn't hatched from an egg, After hundreds of pounds I've spent on my tree, I cannot help but wonder if I'm really me !!!!
