Poor Grandpa does the cooking,
and now, or so he states,
He even has to wash the cups
and the dinner plates.
Well, Grandma can’t be bothered,
she’s busy as a bee,
Compiling genealogy
for the Family Tree.
She has not time to baby-sit,
the curtains are a fright.
No buttons left on Grandpa’s shirt,
the flower bed’s a sight.
She’s given up her club work,
the serials on TV,
The only thing she does nowdays
is climb the Family Tree.
The mail is all for Grandma,
it comes from near and far.
Last week she got the proof she needs
to join the DAR.
A monumental project -
to that we all agree,
A worthwhile avocation -
to climb the Family Tree.
There were pioneers and patriots
mixed with our kith and kin,
Who blazed the paths of wilderness and
fought through thick and thin.
But none more staunch than Grandma,
whose eyes light up with glee,
Each time she finds a missing branch
for the Family Tree.

Although it may load,
To some it’s just a hobby,
to Grandma it’s much more.
She learns the joys and heartaches
of those who went before.
They loved, they lost, they laughed,
they wept - and now for you and me,
They live again in spirit
around the Family Tree.
At last she’s nearly finished,
and we are each exposed.
Life will be the same again,
this we all suppose.
Grandma will cook and sew,
serve crullers with our tea.
We’ll have her back, just as before
that wretched Family Tree.
Sad to relate, the Preacher called
and visited for a spell
We talked about the Gospel and
other things as well.
The heathen folk, the poor and then,
twas fate, it had to be
Somehow the conversation turned
to Grandma's Family Tree.
We tried to change the subject,
we talked of everything
But then in Grandma's voice
we heard that old familiar ring
She told him all about the past,
and soon twas plain to see
The Preacher, too, was neatly
snared by Grandma's Family Tree.
