Frederick McGettrick Poems

Anderson Swellow
is an interesting fellow
and a very strange one indeed.
...

Of all my organs, the one most keen
would likely be the majestic spleen.
It regulates fluids with relative ease
and produces lymphocytes, as fast as you please.
...

Everything you see is just a perception,
the world around you is your mind's deception.
Your idea of hot could be someone's cold,
one man's meek is another's bold.
...

If you are hungy, have a piece of pie
if you want a sandwhich, have some rye
if you are thirsty, have a sip
or if you're not, take a dip
...

I might want to mention, I feel rather strange,
my face just turned green and my hands have just changed.
I look to my stomach, I look and I sigh,
my naval now looks like a mouldy meat pie.
...

Dear Mr. Lincoln
I have been thinkin'
about you and about slaves
