When I started climbing my family tree
I didn't realize what a chore it might be.
I really had nothing much else on my mind
Then to see what I could possibly find.
I already knew of a number of names
I knew Barker and Dunham and Abbott and Ames.
But never, no never, did I possibly thunk
I would find I'd a relative, Joanna Unk.
It must not have been easy to grow up an Unk.
It's not a name beaus want to carve in tree trunks.
But her story's not tragic,it isn't you see,
Because if it were there would not be a me.
She lived out a typical Puritan life,
Met someone who loved her and became his wife.
And somewhere in heaven she's drinking some hooch
With our distant relative Mistress Ruth Gooch.
