The Burgess Boys

cue the music to the Brady Bunch theme song
Here's the story,
Of a lonely lady,
Who was bringing up her very lonely son.
He threw a pig's head in church,
Just for the heck of it,
Then he was on the run.
Here's the story,
Of the lady's brothers,
Who were scheming, competing, cheating on their own.
They were two men,
Telling lies together, but they were soon both alone.
Till the one day when the truth came to the surface,
and they knew that these were much more than ploys.
That this group,
Was really quite dysfunctional.
That's the way they all became the Burgess Boys,
The Burgess Girl, the Burgess Boys
That's the way they became the Burgess Boys.

Thank you ladies. :o) They really are a dysfunctional bunch. Makes my family seem almost normal...well not really, but you know! LOL
Thank you for letting me move this out of consideration to my 'not for me' shelf. I cannot abide stories about dysfunctional people. Effective review that's cute, too - bonus!
Thanks Cheryl. They are a really dysfunctional bunch, so if you don't like reading about dysfunctional people, this book is really NOT for you.
Your bizarre "sung to the tune of the Brady Bunch theme" review is so freaking awesome, I am compelled to now go look up every review you ever wrote.
