Analysis of Mr. FamouS
My grandfather was famous to me
He filled my young eyes, with history
I remember we used to walk to a mountain cliff
I would stand in a sandstone mocassin footprint, as if
I was an Indian chief, with my bare chest brazen
My young spirit held high, with the history, of which I was laden
He was rotund. In feather bed I slept, with him
Far outweighing me. I was the size of a cherubim
