Seven "Wire" Girls

Seven "Wire" girls

One after the other,

Before being blessed

With our baby brother,

 

Seven "Wire" girls

The first was Elise,

Followed by Annie

Before Margaret made three,

 

Ruby arrived in the middle

As the case may be,

Not to be left behind

Along came Mimi,

 

Sweet Stella and Mary

Brought up the rear,

Before the appearance

Of brother D.G. so dear,

 

All the children

Of Maggie and J.B.,

Now you know as much as me

About our family genealogy.

 

 

August 8, 1995
