#Fiction Friday – The Family Tree

Stories in poetry are always fun to do. I wrote this a few years ago. I hope it makes you smile.

Once upon a time, there was me
Right at the bottom of the family tree
Sitting up there at the top
Were Grandmama and Pop
I moved up when I had my child
It took quite a while
But we all jumped up a slot
Then suddenly Mum was at the top
I don’t know where the time went
as it quickly got spent
Or it’s likely I lost track.
Can someone pay me back?
Nope, time travels so quick
Bing, bing and it’s gone in a tick
And guess what’s happened to me?
I’m now at the top of the family tree!
