For Nephew Jacob, on His UnBirthday, draft no. 1

 For preferring your eggs

without pepper spots

for hanging with folks

when you'd rather not

for taking to water

like a fish in a loch

for masterful placement

of red and blue tchotchke

for giggles of protest

when it's past time for bed

for melting all hearts

with your vermillion head

there's no other nephew

that we'd want instead. 

Love, 

Aunty Jennn
