Kim Barney Poems

His name was Igor Ivanov,
someone you probably never heard of.
He was a grandmaster of chess
and certainly one of the best.
...

I went to the All-You-Can-Eat Buffet;
I like to go there as much as I can.
The food is so good, I can't stay away.
I eat what I like; that's always my plan.
...

There was no cloud in the whole sky;
It was a lovely blue.
I was just walking leisurely
While coming from the zoo.
...

Two silkworms had a little race;
I cannot tell you why.
It seems they had an even pace,
and ended up in a tie.
...

The waitress was quite pretty;
in fact, a lovely sight.
My wife and I were 'on the town'
a recent Friday night.
...

I thought of Susan Williams today
and yesterday
and every day this week.
...

I am father of four, grandfather of eighteen, and great-grandfather of seven.

I like to play chess, checkers and other games of logic. I have written logic problems and sold them to Dell Publishing Company.
