    About this ebook

    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. McKeons 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 were certain you will enjoy
    them as well.

    Author

    Donald (Jerry) McKeon

    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.
