Family Ties
We are gathered here today in homage I’m told
For a man who most recent passed on
while I just ventured in to escape from the cold
On my walk that had started at dawn
With that I confess from that to this other
That the week should begin on such a tilt
Even more and yet still, this man that was kilt
Is no stranger in fact he’s my brother
Now before you look on, to me all aghast
Estranged we have been damn Near twenty
Put aside your surprise, my brother was an ass
Wish him dead let’s just say there was plenty
Throughout the years, the ties that bind
Never formed between us two you see
Nor with others he’d manage, not one he could find
To that point here we are two plus me
I would not expect you sad, nor a tear to be shed
Forsake pity to when I am gone
If not by chance I would’ve gone by instead
None the wiser on a walk after dawn
