Blue cotton work clothes
Black garrison belt around his waist.
Hands stained with oil and grease.
Always at work
McGrottey Chevrolet in the day
Backyard garage into the night.
Saturday morning up early
Donuts, bagels in a sack
Daily news read from front to back.
Friends that use him
Past that haunts
Present unappreciated.
Host to cousins, uncles and aunts
Feasts provided year in and year out
Hospitable to all at the door.
