Brief Description
Small notebook with favourite poems written therein. Rudyard Kipling was a favourite.

"Ancestors
If you could see your ancestors all standing in a row,
Do you think that you'd be proud of them, or don't you really know?
Some strange discoveries are made in climbing family trees,
And some of them you know, do not particularly please.

If you could see you ancestors all standing in a row,
There might be some of them perhaps you wouldn't care to know
But there's another question which requires a different view;
If you could meet your ancestors would they be proud of you?"
