Hi all,
I received this from the Fox list and thought it was cute. Sounds like
MY house. My husband has threatened to take my computer away from me!!
THE PREPONDERANCE ULTIMATUM
By Madlyn Jamison
"I want a divorce!"
He/she then said:
"Dead ancestors fill dressers,
And lie under our beds.
They're stuffed into closets,
And piled everywhere.
A creature can't move
Or find a free chair!
Forms, pedigrees, photos, Relics and books
Cover floors and the
Furniture wherever you look!
You've got to stop going
On researching jags.
I'm up to my ears with
Your boxes and bags!
But you keep on collecting
More genealogical stuff!
Then there are nights
When you don't come to bed,
'Cause you'd rather be doing
Your ancestry instead!
Since this hobby of yours
Has come on the scene,
I have not a spouse
Nor a house that is clean!
Listen well, my darling--
Take heed, my dearest--
Give up this obsession
Or I shall depart
And leave you for good--
With your SMITHS and your TARTS.
OH?? You'll need a computer--
A copier and a printer, too?
To work up MY pedigree
Before I depart?
Sheesh! My love,
You're really all heart!!"
