			<link>http://writerswork.yuku.com/topic/149/t/FAMILY-JEWELS.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Picture me chubby
<br>
ball for Pa&#39;s hands
<br>
bouncing me
<br>
round his shoulders
<br>
or Grandma&#39;s apron
<br>
a mitt to catch me
<br>
running away from some boogie man!
<br>
In those days Johnny pumps ran wild
<br>
and the kin stretched out summer
<br>
picnic escapes to Bear Mountain country
<br>
leaving New York city behind
<br>
<br>
In &#39;65 Ma brought my wish home
<br>
in her bundle of joy
<br>
but now already 9 years apart
<br>
me and sis may as well have been zillions away... ]]></description>
