Randy McClave Poems

"I am a Boy Scout"!
I always scream and shout,
When I help the elderly cross the street
Or when strangers I do meet.
...

I don't want death to bring us together
I want that motive to be life,
I want her to be my children's mother
But, first to be my wife.
...

Why did you end your life
Were you full of sorrow and strife,
Was it really that wretched and bad
Or were you harassed, or maybe sad.
...

From death's Prison,
He has risen.
We celebrate it with a feast,
He has been released.
...

She puts on her little black dress,
And the lipstick that I like her to wear
I enjoy it when other men stare,
She is my mistress.
...

When I meet my creator
I will be Shakespeare in the theater,
I will recite my new rhymes with a quote
Of my life and its tragedy that I have wrote.
...

I sent her birthday flowers
But, that time I guess wasn't ours,
She gave me a moment and not hours
Love didn't exist.
...

When I retire I am going to learn to play the guitar
Then across the country I will drive in my car,
On my house there is so much work that has to be done
But, now I won't see it as labor, but only as fun.
...

I went to a Catholic hospital, but not for a day of rest
I went there instead to take a stress test,
They stuck me with a needle and then shaved my chest
So, then began my hours on a cardiovascular quest.
...

I remember her one tat
And the fact that she wasn't fat,
Then there was her lightly tanned skin
And her tantalizing perfect grin.
...
