Max Poem

Know Thyself

If my grandpa wasn’t such a jerk to my mom

She wouldn’t have left her hometown of New York

She wouldn’t have hitchhiked to Alaska

She wouldn’t have worked in a cannery in Kodiak

If my dad didn’t have the love for adventure and outdoors

If he hadn’t of left college to fish in Alaska

He wouldn’t have drove to Alaska

He wouldn’t have worked in a cannery in Kodiak

If my parents weren’t hard working people

They wouldn’t have met at the cannery

If they hadn’t of fallen in love

They wouldn’t have married

If my mom wouldn’t have put up with my dad’s dangerous commercial fishing

If my dad didn’t stay with my mom when she went to different colleges

They wouldn’t have had me

I wouldn’t be around to grace people with my stunning beauty.
