Anonymous Poem by John F. McCullagh

Anonymous



Anonymous is a funny name
for a writer on an Opt-Ed page.
I'd want a by line, I suppose,
if I were going to step on toes.
I know the President would glower
to find me speaking truth to power.
He'd say "You're fired! " on the spot
but I 'd have my verbal parting shot.
Hashtag "Not Me" is all you hear
from senior officials who quake in fear.

Yet if computers can disclose
by close analysis of prose
what Shakespeare did or didn't write
I'm sure the identity will come to light.
I think the turncoat might be named "Dan"
but I'm not willing to take the stand.
Cory Booker, who knows the law,
still thinks it must be Kavenaugh.
