Buzz, Kelly, Pops, Paw-Paw
Louis Edward Callais had many names.
But it didn't matter what he went by,
there was always something to learn from him:
up and down with the sun
breakfast is oatmeal
don't bid on a horse if the auctioneer is a sucker for puppy-eyed girls
always check to see exactly how many cats are in the sack
don't leave a tethered calf unattended
cows will come if you're bringing hay
hay don't rake and bale itself
tractors don't drive straight on their own
a nap never hurt anything
pigs' tails need grabbing at slop-time
two and two equal four
witches can fly through a keyhole
Three-Toes lives in the woods
always keep a candy poke nearby
I'll miss you, Grandpa.
