A little something for Vanessa's Celebration... with the greatest apologies to my dear ancestors whose photos I used (and my English teachers, for obvious reasons...)
The Wise Old Owl stands poised from feather to beak, he tilts his head and starts to speak... "This Family's Curse is one of Woe, such as might have been penned by Poe!"
Take Aunt Helga-Carlotta, who was Proper and Prim, lived in a Gingerbread Cottage that was horribly Grim... (it's said many a child disappeared from within!)
And once Lettie and Morduck scolded young Sven, and unfortunately were never heard from again. (the last we heard, Sven is still in the Pen)

Miss Molly Dulolly made everyone wait, now Molly Dulolly herself is The Late. (how ironic is the hand of Fate)
Uncle Dord to his dogs was quite cruel, until he choked on his morning gruel. (at least according to his housekeeper Jewel)
And Old Uncle Cletus was an Ornery Coot. What happened to him? No one gives a hoot. (But I wouldn't be shocked to learn, that he's there in that urn!)
And that is the Tale of this Family's Curse, which unfortunately has gone from Bad to Verse.
Sorry about that, a mysterious force made me do it! These are all old old old family photos and tintypes, arranged (deranged?) in my Welsh Dresser. The names have been changed, along with the stories, as alas, I have no wonderfully creepy ancestors... as far as I know...
Thanks for stopping by! To find other blogs posting their own celebrations today, visit Fanciful Twist.
