A RELATIVE

 

What do I know of Great Aunt Lena?

I can make a list. Oldest, I believe

Of many children; my grandfather Joe

Was youngest. She was sharp as a needle;

She taught Joe chess; she goaded him

Back from madness after his first wife died.

Later, she decided she'd gone too far,

Leaving him too sane by half.
