It indeed is a portion of the Garrett family history.  Pete was asked 
this on an interview on WNEW in NYC before the 1993 show at the 
Wetlands, right after ESM came out.

  <p>Greetings Valley Walkers, </p>
  <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This poem has come up before (I remember learning about Victa lawnmowers
last time) but I've been wondering if this is a personal account of Peter's
history. PG, RH and JM are credited with writing it, but does anybody know
particulars? The way PG sings it always led me to believe they were&nbsp;his words.
I could be dead wrong. Any thoughts? </p>
