A Caricature

Cartoon Man

An oval face, sturdy and wise,
With wrinkles pointing at the sky.
Long ears holding him down
And hanging to his partial frown. 
On his frame is slung a coat--
Of elk, or deer, or maybe goat--
While a belt of brown and reds, 
Warn entirely to shreds, 
Holds up the pants
That always dance
Around his ankles--spindly but strong.
The man of stories oh so long,
Husband, father, brother, too,
Really needs to tie his shoes.
