John F. McCullagh Poems

The same folks who regulate soda size,
and cheer as our youth turn to pot,
Just passed a law in the Golden State
Let me know if you like it or not.
...

The earth eclipsed the moon tonight
and turned that orb blood red.
The Sox just swept the Cardinals
and Bambino's curse lies dead.
...

I don’t drink any more,
This I freely confess.
Drinking too much
makes ones whole life a mess.
...

The old man sat in his motorized chair
in a room filled with shadow and light.
His bored health attendant cared for him there
as he made his descent into night.
...

What good is sittin' alone in your room
Hop on a flight today,
First Take off your coat, your hat, your shoes
Undress for the T.S.A..
...

When last I lay with you my Love-
lay with you in your narrow bed
in your room, off campus, near the mall.
in your last semester of Pre- Med.
...

I’m the boss, I don’t plan to retire..
As long as there’s breathe in these lungs
I’ll sing till my body’s past tired.
...

There are guys who wed girls.
There are straight folks and gays.
There are those who like single life too.
A fellow in England once wed his T.V.
...

Double nickel in the rear view mirror

Lane lines ahead of me converging fast
...
