Auntie Ruth

Jittery and panicky is her truth.
A spinster who laughs harder than mothers,
She is my father’s cousin, Auntie Ruth.
Much more dazzling than lots of others.

Some say she is peculiar and can say-sooth.
She is insane, laughs some of my brothers.
She is hilarious to me, most uncouth!
I love her better than pretty much all of the others.
