Better Late Mcgee

McGee was in the middle, of a pint he just had bought And thought it might be sweeter if he also had a shot When the priest of his parish decided to step in The patrons all were quite while the Father vanquished sin Father O'Malley, first walked up, to Shawn to test his soul "Would you like to go to heaven?" Shawn replied, "I'd like to go" "Then on this side of the room is where you have to stand, So, I can look around to find another worthy man " McJock was next and he confessed he'd like to go there too! The Father then instructed him, to quickly join the queue And this went on, man by man, until he asked Mcgee “Do you want to go to heaven” McGee replied “Not me” The Father asked again ‘cause he couldn’t fathom why “You don’t want to go to heaven, the day that you will die” “Of course I do when I die ” McGee then scratch his brow “I just thought, you were forming a group, to go up there right now!”

I've been wondering what ever happened to McGee. lol These poems remind me so much of Andy Capp. Do you remember that old comic strip? I truly love your poem, Jerry!

Hi Dan Thanks for the encouragement. It's funny you should ask--- I remember Andy Capp so well I have been unable to illustrate Him. My wife and I are artists, we both drawer paint and sculpt, but just can't grab his essences. he always shows up somewhere between Andy Capp and Darby O'Gill. When we find him we will post him for sure. Thanks again.
