Alison Cassidy - Uncle Malcolm
1 Views • Nov 07, 2014
Description
never married
Bought a house in Carlton
round the turn of the century
without electricity
or running water
Uncle Malcolm
never had a job
Invented ink in his spare time
Sold the patent
to Collies
who made a mint
Uncle Malcolm
walked to the cemetery
every morning
to fill a bucket
from a tap
by the gate
Uncle Malcolm
didn't have a bath
When Mum laid him out
she said his skin
was beautiful
and soft like a baby...
