Uncle Joe and the dancing uncle in verse time
A nostalgic verse portrait of Uncle Jor and Uncle Jon, playful master of charm. It recalls a thirty five year old dance prodigy with wit and oars, loved by woodcock and guests alike, his aging gray moustache still drawing flirty smiles. The poem ends with affectionate reverence for family icon Uncle Jon.
