Randy McClave Poems

After a hard shift working at the mill
I am so excited to come home to a hearty meal
While my head is aching and my muscles still hurt
I am so very excited to get home from work
...

I once looked up to him when I was a little boy,
I wanted to be just like him, so he I did annoy,
I emulated his every move and even the way he walked,
I even began to spit and curse, I even mimicked the way he talked.
...

I enjoy wishing all a very Merry Christmas
Even to the people that I do not know;
Especially when I go out Christmas shopping
And blush-fully when I stand underneath the mistletoe.
...

Christmas bells they all are ringing
Children choirs everywhere are singing,
As we all heard of the star shining bright
So with happiness we sing for that light,
...

You brush and sweep with your broom
Upon the kitchen floor and then another room
Cleanliness seems to be your fate
As you are the one not to delay or hesitate
...

In my bed I lay sick
I don't feel like yuck I feel like yick
I am nauseas and my head it is on fire
I feel like I am on my own funeral pyre,
...

Inside my heart, I love you
With a love that shines so deep,
So I will say I will love you forever
And forever, your love I shall keep.
...

Some of us don't know how well we have it
In this land of ours of good and plenty,
While many say and think that their life is unfit
While their souls and stomachs are never empty.
...

She doesn't goose step when she passes me by
She never says 'Sieg Heil' when I say 'hi'
She wears no insignia on her arm or upon her chest
And nowhere on her, do I see a swastika crest,
...

A conscience mind is a sober mind
And a sober mind keeps you complete
As it will try to keep your soul honest
And will try to keep you from deceit.
...
