poem about a couple I remember

People are great!

Jolly Old Folk

Gray wiry hair in gigantic patches
protrudes, reaching, curling
from chin, eyebrows, nostrils

Overalls seven days a week
decrease the belly shake
during disarming spurts of laughter

Back-pounding hugs
leave one shaking
nervously smiling, regaining balance

Close proximity
confirms familiar fragrance -
day old spaghetti
