Mr. Linsey Poem

by JaMar Jenkins-Pettway

My neighbor Mr.Linsey is a really old man

He goes to the store in the summer to buy something for me and my friends

He is like summer on my block, He lights it up

He sits on his porch in the summer

Just to see me play on the basketball court

Since he is old he walks like a turtle

So it takes him a while to get to the court

I think it’s a little weird that in the summer he just sits on his porch all summer

One time I even asked why He said cause he likes to

I think it’s a little boring

I tried it out

And I wasn’t enjoying it

My neighbor Mr. Linsey is a really old man
