The Family Tree!
We've got a family album,
Like a family tree.
A thrill to turn the pages,
The picture we can see.
Starting off with grands and greats
Then slowly down the line
Like a book of history.
Fashions start to alter
Mustaches come and go
Ladies skirts skip up and down
A proper fashion show.
Top hats change to boaters,
To caps then none at all.
Ladies bonnets disappear,
And so does grannies shawl.
Picture's change to colour
Black and white has gone
A different place, a different time
So much to look upon.
But what is so amazing
Is the likeness we can see
Showing up the genes
Right through our family tree.
