KEEPING

ByJohn KIng 

I have written over two  hundred poems,

four songs.

Three commerdy murder mysterys.

Four short storyes.

A Christmass play for children.

that was used  in  a school in andover

and lawrence

I am working on three books,

all in rhyme for children.

I was a scubba diver.

a fisher man,

and caught a four hundred pound tuna.

i had a lobster lisance for six years.

my friend and i caught a nine pound lobestor

in rockport  harbor.

i sailed sailboats from eight ft.

to the one hundred ten foot

shanadoah from cape cod.

I was in a pit crew for the great

supper modderfied driver Ollie silver.

He was one of the best race car drivers

on the east coast

I restored

1925 Cocola truck that was a roofers truck

when i bought it

1926 dodge paddy waggon

1929 ford ice truck a copy

of the Lawrence ice co.

1929 red white and blue ford coupe

with a rumbbel seat 

1934 john deare tractor

1940 john deere tractor

2 antique pump organs

1929 Johnson outboard motor

1969 olds cuttles convertable

I was a telivision tecnition in the fiftyes

I was an outboard mechinec

in sixtys and seventys

when I had king johns marina. 

  I repaired major appliances in the eightys,

until I retired in the early nintyes.

at that time my company was A B C appliance repair.

Now I ballroom dance at least five nights a week.

I am still writing poems and storys.

and I am makeing a solar powered Din"gy

to use for fishing.

I flew in the goodyear blimp,

from the beverly airport.

and when I was 14 I  set up duck pins , at the

richwood bowling alleys on south union st. law.  

and i am still a verry very bad speller.

 I hope you enjoy my poems
