Stapley Boys


Twas the night before Christmas,
And throughout the Stapley House,
Each boy had finally found,
His beloved she spouse.

Shane and Angeleen got started early,
You know how I know?
Because to count all their kids,
You must use your fingers and toes.

The rest of the boys took their ol’merry time,
Parents didn’t seem to understand,
Were there no girls to find?

Troy was not quite a menace to society,
Cuz he got married at twenty five, my mistake twenty five plus three.
He sure took his time tying the knot with his gal,
A few years before her mish and a few after her mission pals.

Finally came along Jace and we won’t mention his age,
But boy was that fun – How many times was he engaged? J
Some say he robbed the cradle,
Set the example for Press,
But were are glad to have his gal,
She looks pretty in any dress.

Just like the Stapley song there was one more,
“Then along came Preston number four”
And “Now we have more joy then we ever knew before”

And yes “We’re counting our blessings, And sharing our love,
Enjoying what’s been given from our father above”

There is much to say about a family that is close,
Of eight wonderful children of our parents to boast.

May we each remember why we love one another,
I truly can say I love each sister and brother.
