Our Family by Robert J (Bob) Moore ©2021 Our Christine was the youngest, of our brood of four and that’s when mam and dad said, “don’t think we’ll have any more” Three girls, and only one boy and this last one squeals a lot just wait until she grows up think we’ll quit with what we’ve got Midge is what I called her, ‘cause she was pretty small Elaine I always called her bones skinny, not very tall The oldest girl was Marion named after our mother guess that I just called her Mal and wished I had a brother It never really mattered our family was complete we did the things a family does and the living was pretty sweet Then we came to Australia and when I was 22 I finally had a brother Bill joined our motley crew Now times gone past so quickly you wonder where years have gone those of us left, live our life and remember them, every one.
