Francis Duggan Poems

For what they believed in and their sense of pride
So many far too many at a young age have died
Never more for to laugh, cry, love, sing or dance
They overlooked in living of life you get no second chance
...

He makes sure that the locals him will never forget
His photo is often in the Moyne Gazette
His ego of attention he would never deny
One can say of him he is not camera shy
...

In every town, village and city there is many a closely knit exclusive club
They stay in their small groups even when socializing at community gatherings or the local pub
Birds of a feather flock together a saying i remember from decades ago
A saying that does also apply to us humans that we are rather tribal happens to be so
...

Though fame and material wealth in life has not been my due
To my own self i only can try to stay true
For there is nothing to like to one who is into self in a big way
Though a few of such people i meet every day
...

Like all others they eventually do run out of time
But the rhymers they never do run out of rhyme
Since they have no wish to give rhyming away
They keep on rhyming on until their last night and day
...

The memories remain of a far away Spring
When the robins and blackbirds and thrushes and finches did sing
And the blue tit lays her brown dotted pale eggs in a hole in old tree
In Spring so much natural beauty to see
...

Serena Trencher i have not seen for many a year
Yet the lilt in her laughter i fancy i hear
She lives on the Gold Coast so i have been told
Victoria for her far too blustery and cold
...

Due to habitat destruction and pollution and Climate Change it does seem sad to say
That more species of wildlife becoming endangered of extinction every day
And most of this doubtless due to human greed
Could it be that for the demise of our own kind we are planting the seed
...

I feel lucky so lucky everyday i does see
The beauty in Nature everywhere around me
Birds chirping and singing on bushes and trees
Their pleasant notes carrying in the freshening breeze
