He's Been Lonely Since His Daddy Died

Brother Otis says he knows
we're married women
and he would never try
to get out of line.

It's just that he owns
two big old houses,
a farm he got when
his daddy passed over.

He wants to see us,
maybe invite us to visit
the Baptist church service.
They usually got cookies there.

He misses us a lot.
been lonely, 'specially
since Tyler stopped showin'
Hogan's Heroes.

And he wonders
if we have for sale
a gut hook knife.
Preferably with a sheath.
