Alan McKean |
Alan is 53 years old, married, father of 2 daughters, grandad to a lively 4 year old grandson and lives in a small Pennine town in Lancashire. An accountant by day who writes poetry at night, he's been interested in poetry for a long time, but has only been writing for about three years. He gets a lot of my work from watching what goes on around him - people watching. He is also a retired Morris dancer.
Bondage
But I don’t want to bond
With my colleagues
I don’t want to go team building
In Ambleside
Rowing across Lake Windermere at Midnight
Does nothing for me
Burning symbolic memories
Is not my style
Why print our mission statement
On a tee-shirt?
I don’t want to go karting
Out of hours
I don’t want to go paintballing
Out of hours
I don’t want to go drinking
After work
I see enough of them during the day.
I’m not a miserable person
I just happen to have a family
I just happen to have a life.
