E Pluribus Unum

.
Mom's green eyes
Dad's Roman nose
Grandpa's fuzzy ears
Striking repose

Two A.M. rolls around
Break for coffee
Pour a big cup
Mix in whiskey

Quietly strolling back
Into the living room
Furtive steps forward
Time to resume

Sister's thin legs
Baby's tiny feet
Brother's big arms
Grandma's teeth

Standing in awe
Admiration beaming
Hours of labor
Tears start streaming

Place it in the Louvre
Maybe Smithsonian
Have 'em call P.B.S.
Put it on television

Stifling a chuckle
Pleased with the result
Pablo Picasso himself
Would find it difficult

Tediously sewn opus mortem
Macabre work of art
Triumphantly displayed among
Seven bodies used for parts
