(Red) camellia - cousin of the tea plant

Cousins
Most of us have at least one cousin,
Many of us, more than a dozen.
A cousin may be - first, second, or third,
Nobody told you, the size of your herd.
Sometimes cousins are twice removed,
That's when generation gaps, have been proved.
This poem is not meant to confuse,
Share with a cousin, you get to choose.
Figuring out how you're related,
Often ends up - being debated
Separation is seven degrees,
Between you, and the fool in the trees.
