Ancestry

 

I climbed up high

that I might see

Just who was in

my family tree

So very strange

I found a limb

but could not tell

a her from him

Piercing and tattoos

they had

No one smiled

they all looked mad

None at all

did look like me

like folks you'd find

from DMV

No one famous

I could see

and no one left

a thing to me

No heroes pictured

in a frame

One had a horse

but with no name

A rootless tree

is what I found

A summer breeze

could knock it down

So now I know

the who I am

one who falls

for such a scam.
