There are fourteen people on this earth

Due in part to my endeavour

All are good to look upon

And all of them are clever

In one way or another.

I was only sweet sixteen

When I met a handsome lad

And very soon we fell in love

But nobody was glad

Except the two of us.

My parents thought that I would soon

Get him out of my system

They could not have been more wrong

I just could not resist him

He was so gorgeous.

 He was his mother’s pride and joy

The centre of her life

The last thing that she wanted

Was for him to take a wife

Like me.

For I was just not good enough

Simply a curiousity

She didn’t take to me at all

Which led to reciprocity

Which later faded.

Well time went on, in spite of all,

Much later we were wed

And we were so old-fashioned

We didn’t go to bed

Until we made our vows.

In nature’s time our family grew

Three girls and just one boy

They gave us lots of sleepless nights

But also lots of joy

And endless nappies!

As families do they all grew up

And all of them did marry

And made of us their Grandma Glor

And their Grandfather Harry.

To ten new little Ausssies.

There are fourteen people on this earth

Due in part to my endeavour.
