Mckinney Poems | Examples


Shine, People, Shine

Trevor McKinney suggested we Pay It Forward;
others call it random acts of kindness.
Jesus admonished, “Be lights in your world.”
Shine, people, shine.  Let your good deeds glorify God.

A Day At the Laudromat

Oh hi me hence to the laundromat 
Bearing many a malodorous sock
As ofttimes a shepherd will boldly go
To the babbling brook where the clear waters flow
With a line of the wooliest beasties in tow
(Or sometimes merely formed up in a row)
Which comprise his caprinaerious flock

A football jersey, meant for sport 
Relegated now to work
A dozen holed and yellowed shorts
Which in a dank corner lurk

Some threadbare jeans and faded tees
A brace of sweatpants lacking knees
And a woolen sweater, rife with fleas
I find I must transport

As manly heart anticipates the finding of a laundromat queen
Perhaps a Vida Guerra clone
Or Jennifer Lawrence all alone
Or Charlotte McKinney, sans cell phone*
But it doesn't seem to be my day, none such are here, I ween.

When it comes to laundromatic love it seems I am quite out of luck, 
For the only lass who toils within
Sports globular frame and trebular chin
And more body hair than Rin Tin Tin
Much like Rosanne Barr with a silly grin, had her face impacted a truck.

*So she can't call for help.
