In Succession

In Succession Queen's grandson has been happily married She smiled each time future child was carried By Princess above all who is as lovely as her Who we wanted to see when taking a tour. To fact a child was meant to be precursory Before ending up in a Royal nice nursery And loving child of course each one will be Who later has to end up in high society. Each child when born is beyond all worth Are greatest things we ever have on earth And seems like I'm a poet with an obsession Regarding Royal people who are in succession. My wife Jill who is such a beautiful doll Actually would never have been here at all Who ended up being one of the bright dames Currently related to none other than King James. Then one day a great idea I did happen upon What if she too married a James and had a son And every time after eating all of her spinach She surely continued on with her long lineage. James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran and Poet My wife Jill Webster McCarroll Horn is related to the King James lineage and also the William (Bravehart) Wallace lineage. How about that. Give me some suggestions on how to improve this so I can give it to my wife on her birthday on June 30th. Just finished a great 14 day tour of British Isles and now you have to put up with my obnoxious poems again. Jim Horn Need category for Genealogy.

Hi there, this is a lovely idea for your wifes birthday it reads well, my only input would be the last 2 lines - perhaps you could think of something different to lineage and rhyme with family tree or something... good luck, rgds, Laura
