John F. McCullagh Poems

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
...

The picture hangs upon the wall
...

I saw my father’s face last week,
across the gulf of time..
I chanced upon a photograph
That you had left behind.
...

'A terrible waste of curves and curls'
he said as the knot was tightened
She struggled as he kicked the chair-
Was Halliburton frightened?
...

The Ghosts of Ruth and Gehrig sat
Up in Tier 35
And wiped tears from translucent cheeks
As the final anthem died.
