A Poem For Uncle Terry

Uncle Terry is a untamed terrier

With a bite as fierce as a pit bull

He is a jack of all trades

Extremely good with his hands

An absolute jokester at heart

Even though he sometimes got on the wrong side of the law

Along with his partner in crime who goes by the name JJG

Otherwise known as John Joe Gannon

The pair leaving a never ending path of destruction in their wake

And absolutely happy about what they had done

Rehashing the day's events over countless pints of Guinness

Then the two would get drunk and their stupid antics being again

While everyone else around them didn't know what to do with them

But as the years went by they were filled with constant pain and happiness

But that was nothing a big vanilla cone with a flake on top couldn't fill

It made my day that I your niece from America

Could finally meet you but not like this

My memory not that great because I was a baby

So there was no way for me to remember you

Sure talking to you on the phone was great and all

But it just wasn't the same

But I was glad to make your day

That you got to meet me even if at first you didn't know who I was

Because I changed so drastically from that little runt you used to know

Nobody deserves to be in the position you are in now

I'd just trade places with you anyday

Because you and Aunt May deserve to live out your bucket list before you die

But whatever happens happens Uncle Terry will be in gods hands

Everyday and everywhere looking down on us and protecting us

But let me tell you Uncle Terry that won't change how much I LOVE YOU!
