Keeper.

 

 

I asked cousin Shari about our genealogy.
She said there were no slave owners.
I said they were probably too poor.
I said Kenny would have gladly enslaved 
Some dudes across the street at the Y.
I said I always feel somewhere between gypsy and alien,
Regardless of census or genealogy. 
She said they all lived as neighbors and ended up with children and stayed there
Generations. She said the census said some of them married their cousins!
I didn't say, I had a Thing For You, cousin! 
I said I was set to be a census taker but I was rejected
Thank the lord of creation for I'd a probably been killed.
Also I've never been asked if I exist.
I said don't fret it, send the Tree or not, I still
Will feel like an anomaly.
