Poetry With Gravy

About the Book

Certain foods go better with gravy so why not poetry? So Jerry added it to the title – no salt and pepper required! Just about any subject is fair game for his rhyming words. He shares his opinion with some poems, picks up on current events in others, and finds an interest in the dead and the graveyards claiming their bodies. Mr. McKeon’s poetry follows an easy rhyming pattern and his ability to tell a story with his poems will certainly keep your interest. His humor will entertain you. The poems were written for his personal fulfillment, but we’re certain you will enjoy them as well.

About the Author

It wasn’t until a cycling accident that Jerry became serious about writing poetry. Required to be off his feet for three months, pounding out poems on his laptop helped fill the day. Writing limericks most of his life, the longer verse proved to be a natural. He credits his Irish grandfather for this interest – he penned hundreds of poems and limericks, several appearing in this book. Retired from a fifty-year business career, Jerry has years of experiences to draw upon. Given a chance at a second career, he would jump at the chance to write self-improvement books. Recently blessed with great grandchildren, Jerry loves to write about his family and friends; the same family and friends that encouraged him to publish his book of his poems.
