Geoff,
Ditto for me on Uncle. Plus I seem to be missing some point the poem is making. There seems to be some sympathy for the uncle, as well as a hint that what was thought was happening, was not in fact happening. However, I am unsure what that was suppose to be, or how this specifically ties into the title. Although I could hazard a guess, I don't think that is my job. There is some bone here but not enough meat on which to base a meal!

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
