Rob Researches His Ancestry

Rob Researches His Ancestry 

By Elton Camp

His family’s stories filled Rob with glee
For few had ancestors as illustrious as he

The gratifying report he happily approved
A king was his grandfather a bit removed

Nothing could be more splendid 
Than from royalty to be descended

At his claims, some folks would sneer
So he decided to make the facts clear

With the use of powerful Internet tools
He would shut the mouth of those fools

When the genealogy was all done
Gloating at them would be such fun

The final report in his hand he clasped
At what he learned, poor Rob gasped

Rob was as embarrassed as could be 
There was no king in his family tree

The boastful family stories had been wrong
To a hangman’s descendants he did belong
