Axe Murderers

Do you have any axe murderers in your family No? How totally boring is that! They add a little spice when telling your story More interesting than your household cat How about a bigamist or a felon of some note That would be a total blast! But before you climb up on your mighty high horse Better thoroughly check out your past Just having a little fun so don't send me letters When reviewing this sweet little gem Every once in a while I go off on these tangents Soon be back on the track once again Do you have any axe murderers in your family If you have to answer yes to the above I solemnly promise to keep it our little secret And end with good wishes and love © Jack Ellison 2012

Jack, I have a garden and a very tall broad-shouldered son. He was chopping/splitting wood for me (I was helping in my usual supervisory role) when the axe handle snapped! So I guess we have axe merderer in the O'Leary family ... Terry (Funny poem, as long as I don't take it personally)
