Sorry
About That!
No
book is entirely perfect
For
errors will creep in;
Sometimes
wrong information is sent
By
someone’s next of kin.
And
even printers make mistakes
For
which they tear their hair;
Sometimes
two people disagree
On
who or when or where.
It
might have been the person
Who
wrote the history;
It
might have been the typist,
Or
blame the Author, me.
So,
if you're dead before you're born
Or
married when you're three,
Or
I've omitted anyone
Who
sent themselves to me;
Or
your last name is not your own,
Your
pictures not too good.
I
ask you- please forgive me;
I've
done the best I could.
