Impending retirement of The Possible Ks
About 8 years ago, when I first started out on this writing journey, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to write. So I came up with the idea of The Possible Ks. I was going to experiment with styles and shapes and media and present them as Sat K, and The Poet K, and Citizen K, etc.
Well, my writing has evolved and my sense of self along with that.
So I am going to be retiring The Possible Ks concept.
It’s time to consolidate my alter egos and just be Kevin Alan McGill, Social Philosopher Poet and Storyteller. I am channeling my “inner beatnik” to come up with socially conscious poetry, flash fiction, lyrics and satire.
Part of that development is changing my HostPapa website domain to kevinalanmcgill.com.
I will be developing that site along the same lines as my possible ks site, focusing on graphic illustrations as my primary blogging tool.
So if you’d like to join me on the new site just click on the link and sign up there to get email notices when I post. No purchase necessary. The new posts have already started.
I’d be glad to hear from you.
Seeing what’s here!

Small Town Laundry
I am doing an online songwriting course with FutureLearn. It’s a free learning program that you can upgrade to a credit program. My course is provided by Sheffield University.
As part of my learning, I put together a practice song using GarageBand. If you are interested you can find it on my website at this link Small Town LaundryÂ
The lyrics are:
Friday night lights, soiled delight, the spread was 13 to 1
We replaced her name with a word that took the blame and declared the deed as done.
Battered and splattered, as if that mattered, the cycle will repeat when she’s late
Sermon and prayer, yet nobody there, ain’t none of us gonna step up to the plate?
Small town laundry the stain grows and grows
Small town laundry a list everybody knows
What you gonna do when they come to call out you
What you gonna do when it’s time to be true
What you gonna do when they come to call out you
What you gonna do!
We all knew his kind, how they’re inclined, he’s just one more of that brood
He got his label as soon as he was able, when you’re hungry reform school has food
He’s the wrong parent’s child, so we let him run wild, he’s one who won’t rise above
Sermon and prayer, yet nobody there, what you saying about brotherly love?
Small town laundry the stain grows and grows
Small town laundry a list everybody knows
What you gonna do when they come to call out you
What you gonna do when it’s time to be true
What you gonna do when they come to call out you
What you gonna do!
They aren’t like us, so a beatings a must, despite what it says in the law
Bad cop batons, good cop looks on, somehow there’ll be a crime that they saw
Backed in a corner, citizen or foreigner, we’ll goad you into playing our game
Sermon and prayer, yet nobody there, aren’t we so proud to be the same?
Small town laundry the stain grows and grows
Small town laundry a list everybody knows
What you gonna do when they come to call out you
What you gonna do when it’s time to be true
What you gonna do when they come to call out you
What you gonna do!
What you gonna do, etc

Busy, Busy, Busy
The week has been spent largely re-arranging the website Kevin Alan McGill The Possible Ks for greater navigability.
I have created more pages and moved some posts around.
Here are some links that might interest you:
The categories include Barebones Rider, Canadian? Me?, Graphic Art, Rodin’s Man, Sat K, The K and The Park Bench.
I am also revising the backstory to The Park Bench and trying to work out how to logically present the ongoing episodes.
Hope you find the content interesting and useful.
Thanks for stopping in.
