Mallahan and McGinn for Seattle Mayor - A Poem by John Jay Licata ~ Troubadour Poet & Seattle Native Son


Will we ever have another Mayor
That's born in Seattle!
Who knows the city -
Its visceral spit and spaddle,

And understands the City Council
Is prone to fiddle faddle

Wherefore these two Irish lads -
Mallahan and McGinn,
With rolled up carpets
Under their arms, glib tongues
And with out-of-towner's charms,

Are making promises of Easy Street,
Promises made without a care
Like so many fish like us
Flinging across Pike Place Market -
Flying through the air.
