Francis Duggan Poems

So many good writers in the World of today
Who can only get their work published if for it they do pay
In a fair literary World it would not be this way
Perhaps it is not what you know but who you know as some do say
...

Myxomatosis and clavixal virus they have managed to survive
And they multiply quickly thanks to their sexual drive
Farmers and gardeners to make them extinct their best do try
But that rabbits are Nature's great survivors one cannot deny
...

For our every error and our every mistake there always is some price to pay
For us this is how it is and will be life always works in this way
But why burden your mind with regrets though bad memories with you last
Since it is true we can only learn from our mistakes of the past
...

This comparing of people seems out of control
For each one of us there is a pigeon hole
The tag of winner and loser to everyone does apply
And why this has to be one must wonder why?
...

Money does not fall from the sky in a shower
And it is true that those who have lots of it at their disposal have power
It does speak every language as some are known to say
And in the twenty first century more than ever before it does seem this way
...

I did know her briefly a long time ago
For a brief span of time for three months or so
I did love her back then but she did not love me
There are things in our lives that are not meant to be
...

They have been together for six decades Big Joe and Ann his wife
But things not always rosy in their married life
They often do argue but not every day
In every long term marriage all is not always loving as some tend to believe or say
...

You have a negative outlook on life to me she did say
And you write in a very negative way
You sneer at people's joy in their success
You sure are a hard one for to impress
...

The sun behind the gray clouds is hidden away
But the paddocks are green in old Yangery today
And the magpies are warbling on the tall gum trees
Their familiar music is carrying in the breeze
...

Doesn't matter if you are young middle aged or one of the old blokes or old dears
Dee Jayne is the one for to check out your ears
An expert on hearing of her one can say
She renders a good service and is easy to pay
...
