My Three Lovers

We've got a family album

Like a family tree

A thrill to turn the pages

The pictures we can see.

Starting off with grands and greats

Then slowly down the line

Like a book of history

A journey through the time.

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 color

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.
