This Guy Back Home

Always the last fish house
left on the lake.
Day he pulls it out
the ice breaks up.
He's that kind.
The one all the old ladies want
to take to bingo
and not just for his luck.
He's the kind
can make everyone laugh
can sing Indian songs
can wear his hair long
swaying
as he shadowboxes
the county sheriff.
Watch that one...
my uncle says,
and I say Yesss.
