    Our 
    fam
    il
    ies 

    have 
    tradi
    tions, 

    we've 
    heard them 
    thou
    sand times. 

    Our ancestors 
    were 

    unequivocally 
    right. 

    They 
    frequently 
    went on 
    mis
    sions, 
    to very peculiar 
    clans, 

    to 
    lead 
    the 
    wretched 
    hea
    then 
    to the 
    light. 

    Though 
    some 
    of 
    them were 
    beaten 
    up 
    and some 
    of 
    them stampeded, 

    though 
    quite a 
    lot 
    were eaten 
    up, 
    few 
    of them succeeded. 

    On 
    one of 
    these expedi
    tions, 

    an uncle we 
    thought a 
    bore, 

    Turned 
    out 
    to 
    be more 
    spirited 
    than 
    ever 

    he'd been be
    fore. 

    Poor 

    Uncle 

    Harry 
    wanted 
    to 
    be 
    a missionary, 

    So he 
    took a 
    ship and 
    sailed away. 

    This 
    visionary, 
    hotly 
    pursued 
    by 
    dear 

    Aunt 

    Mary, 

    Found a 

    South 

    Sea 
    isle 
    on which to 
    stay. 

    The 
    nat
    ives 
    greeted them 
    kindly 

    and 
    invited 
    them to 
    dine 

    On 
    yams 
    and clams 
    and human 

    hams and 
    vintage 
    coconut 
    wine 

    The 
    taste 
    of which was 
    filthy, 

    but 
    the 
    after 
    -effects 
    divine 

    Poor 

    Uncle 

    Harry got 
    a bit 
    gay and 
    longed 
    to tarry 

    This 

    Aunt 

    Mary 
    could
    n't 
    quite al
    low 

    She 
    lectured 
    him severely 
    on 

    a number of 
    church affair

    But 
    when she'd 
    gone to 
    bed 
    he 

    made 
    a getaway 
    down the 
    stairs 

    For 
    he longed 
    to hear the 
    answer 
    to a 

    few of 
    the maiden's 
    prayers 

    Uncle 

    Harry's 
    not 
    a mission
    ary 
    now 

    Now 

    Uncle was 
    just a 
    seeker

    dreamer 
    sin
    cerely 
    blessed. 

    Of 
    this there couldn't 

    be a shadow 
    of 
    doubt. 

    The 
    fact that 
    his flesh was 
    weaker 
    than 
    even our 
    merry 

    guest
    s took 
    even 
    her some 
    time 
    to figure 
    out

    In 
    all those 
    languid 
    latitudes, 

    the atmosphere's 
    exot
    ic. 

    To take up 
    moral atti
    tudes would 

    be too 
    idiotic. 

    Though 
    nobody 
    could be 

    meeker 
    than 

    Uncle had 
    been be
    fore, 

    I'll 
    bet today 
    he's 
    giving 
    way at 
    practically 
    every 
    pore. 


    Poor 

    Uncle 

    Harry, 
    hav
    ing become 
    missionary, 

    found 
    the 
    natives' 
    morals 
    rather 
    crude. 

    He and 

    Aunt 

    Mary 
    swiftly 
    imposed 
    an arbitrary 
    ban 

    upon them 
    shop
    ping in 
    the 
    mew. 

    They 
    all considered 
    this 
    silly and 

    de
    cided 
    to 
    rebel. 

    They 
    burnt his 
    boots 
    and several 
    suits, 

    which 
    made a 
    horrible 
    smell. 

    The 
    subtle 
    implication 
    was 
    that 

    Uncle could 
    go to 
    hell. 

    Poor 

    Uncle 

    Harry, 
    af
    ter some 
    words with 
    dear 

    Aunt 

    Mary, 

    thought the 
    time 
    had 
    come to 

    make 
    a round. 

    He 
    lined up 
    all the older 
    girls 

    in 
    one of 
    the local 
    shed
    s, 

    but 
    while he 
    was revil
    ing 
    them and 

    tearing himself 
    to 
    shreds, 

    they 
    took their 
    mother 
    -hub
    bards off 

    and 
    tied them 
    around their 
    heads. 

    Uncle 

    Harry's 
    not 
    a mission
    ary now. 

    Poor 

    Uncle 

    Harry, 
    after some 
    tears from 
    dear 

    Aunt 

    Mary, 

    called 
    upon the 
    chiefs 
    for a pow 
    -wow. 

    They 
    didn't bran
    dish knives 
    at him, 

    they 
    really were 
    awfully 
    sweet. 

    They 
    made 
    concerted 
    di
    ves at 

    him and 
    offered him 
    things to 
    eat. 

    But 
    when they 
    threw their 
    wives 
    at 
    him, 

    he 
    had to 
    admit defeat. 

    Uncle 

    Harry's 
    not 
    a mission
    ary now. 

    He's 
    awfully 
    happy, 

    but 
    he's 
    certainly 
    not 
    a missionary 
    now.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
