They’ve died in cars, in planes and now canoe.

Some call the family Kennedy

unlucky as a clan can be.

Joe Junior went to war, his plane went down.

JFK ambushed in Dallas town.

RFK, election day, shot at hotel in L.A.

Seemed like no end to their misery.

John John junior’s plane went in the sea.

Teddy lived through two bad crashes

before cancer made him ashes.

Later relatives have died, accidents and suicide.

There was even talk about a curse.

This latest boating death just makes it worse.

Their name rings out in history,

garlanded by mystery.

One could say the family car’s a hearse.
