GREAT GRANDDAD’S DRAWINGS
Fred J Margetson ca 1852-1927
Brian’s mom did not want them
it seemed a shame,
Sketches and etching so well done,
to what great aim
I do not know, they were in an old folder
and some loose,
I suppose she thought that they were
of no real use.
But all our family love them, and now
I’ll write poetry
To bring them all alive to those in
our happy family.
The titles may not be easy but the art and beauty
that I can see
Will set my poet’s heart beating fast and
flowing quite free.
Now sit back, relax and wait for all the poems
to quickly flow,
I’ll see how many to day, before off to
my bed I go.
