My Funny Uncle

By Lyvier Myra Etsitty

My uncle was always joyful

As a fish in the water,

Laughing and telling jokes

Making everybody’s day with those jolly jokes

In the morning, evening, and night

Always laughing

He loved the outdoors

Fishing and camping mainly,

In the warm sun, getting dirty trying to get the

Fish off the hook

Never cared what he wore

Shorts, T-shirts, and his fishing hat

Just as long as he was having fun

His dream to be with his family

My dream, having him here again
