Recipe

He likes anti-aging cream, does
Uncle History—favoring
An ancient Egyptian formula
One that employs
Supernatural forces
He also likes incantations
Amulets, offerings, aromas,
Tattoos, and statuary
You should see his house
Meanwhile picture him
With a falcon’s hood
Over his head
And waving to ghosts
Everyone needs
Minor amusements
When wars
Are described as heroic
