Best Finn Poems

MacJock looked uptight

When we said "That's not right,

MacJock grabbed a bottle

Intending to throttle

The closest poor sod in his way

And this caused a ruckus

McGee was...

Today I think I'll be a tiger
With stripes that are yellow and black.
I'll roar through the jungle with eyes on my prey. 
I'll be ready for any attack.

Or maybe I'll be like a monkey,
Dark brown and with eyes small and round.
I'll swing through the trees...

Finn was in some searing pain
as he went to see the Doc
Good thing, it wasn't very far
a short walk 'round the block

As Finn walked in, He managed a grin
But his voice was week and shaken
The Doc said "Please sit down right here,
For some test you...

Important questions asked in a variety of creatively subtle ways.
Neither child would violate the trusted confidentiality...

He thought that he had lost all his marbles on the crossing

The autumn tides had been huge and the currents strong


Mostly the aquamarine ones off track and abandoned

A bit like blue smarties excluded from the shiny packets

Forbidden colorants had lost their way into his life


Must...

November 11th, 1938. winter, Sweden
neighbor's pond water is not frozen yet
bucket spilled drops are chilly
grandma Sven's crocheted mittens are not warm enough
younger brother Finn tells me to hurry

family waits for these precious drops of water
cannot fire up cast iron cook stove without stew juice
Chester, our...

Hank built the loveliest quirkiest cottage for his wife, Finn.
She had specific ideas, and incorporated each one in.
Everyone who saw it wanted one for themselves and asked.

What Stout Is About



Me, Finn and McGee
We went to the pub the see
This new fancy Stout
They've been talkin' about
I ordered, and we were served three

Now when I looked down
Me mouth made a frown
For a fly was afloat in me beer
So I tossed the drink out
And...

We were all laughing

And it seem quite baffling

For reasons no one was sure

Why'd we carried on

From dusk until dawn

As we all wound up,  on da floor



Now MacJock lost his smile

And He all of the while

Kept a tab on all of us lads

And I t'ought...

She was a woman who had a little hair on her chin.
She was older, robust, called simply Old Finn.
It did not make sense that they called her this at nineteen.

Spoke badly of his fellow man.

A good first day, new job? No way....
