My two best uncles

A poem about two brothers with a special place in my heart

My two favorite uncles
One east the other west
Both are rather silly
But truly are the best.

The first one is an actor.
Living the California dream.
His special little lady.
Is a one-eyed dachshund, cream.

The second worked with his hands
On pipes and sprinklers, too.
When I was young, he’d toss me
Over turtle pool pontoons.

Though not related by blood.
I’ve always treasured them.
For they are two goofy guys.
From where my uncle-ness stems.
