Our Family Tree : Poem

 We've got a family album

Like a family tree
A thrill to turn the pages
The pictures we can see

Starting off with grands and greats
Then slowly down the line
Like a book of history
A journey through the time

Fashions start to alter
Mustaches come and go
Ladies skirts skip up and down
A proper fashion show

Top hats change to boaters
To caps then none at all
Ladies bonnets disappear
And so does grannies shawl

Picture's change to colour
Black and white has gone
A different place, a different time
So much to look upon

But what is so amazing
Is the likeness we can see
Showing up the genes
Right through our family tree

我们有一张家庭相册

 就像家谱

 翻页的快感

 我们可以看到的图片

 从盛大和伟人开始

 然后慢慢下线

 像一本历史书

 穿越时空的旅程

 时尚开始改变

 胡须来来去去

 女士裙子上下跳跃

 一场合适的时装秀

 大礼帽改为划船者

 封顶然后根本没有

 女帽消失了

 奶奶披肩也是如此

 图片的颜色变化

 黑白已经过去

 不同的地方，不同的时间

 这么多值得一看

 但有什么了不起

 是我们可以看到的相似之处

 显示基因

 直接通过我们的家谱
