A man of few words
famous for calling women
their husbands' names or nicknames
Mrs. Cat or Mrs. Charlie
He'd call you a cracker jack
if you couldn’t be still
a shot for trying to be somebody you were not
a pistol if he thought you were mean as shit
He might even call you Tharl, Jespa, or Ettie
a girl-child if you were a boy
primping in a mirror too long
