My mama had 2 boys and 2 girls

Daddies last was a barely born infant
Who needed a mama.
My parents' marriage was really one of 'convenience"
This was after 25 yrs; their anniversary photo
My brother (half, if you take those things into account)
Was the last of my fathers first 'clutch' and since Ms Nellie
Died within months of his birth, really needed a mama.
He died after less than a year in Vietnam
They wouldn't let us see the body
My Sister Linda, 8 yrs older than I, would scream and holler

My niece Jessica, is a VIP
We have connections, but in the long run, we are only
People
