I read it somewhere: Light travels faster than sound. That's why some
folks appear bright until they speak!

ANCESTORS:

If you could see your ancestors,
All standing in a row,
I expect you would find there,
One or two you wouldn't care to know.
Because in climbing family trees
One always meets a few
Who get there by irregular steps
As such folks always do.
If you should meet your ancestors
All standing in a row
You would surely find there one or two
Whom you would be proud to know.
But here's another question
Which requires a different view.
If you should meet your ancestors,
Would they be proud of you?
