Francis Duggan Poems

Nothing worse than a bully one who has power over you
Such as a bully boss i have worked for two
They did make me sweat hard for my every pay
Though with them mine was not a very long stay
...

Where it is so lush and green in September in Spring
And grey shrike thrush and blackbird in their nesting territories sing
And magpies sing all night as well as all day
In Birdsland in September from here far away
...

They do feel superior with God on their side
And the flag of their Country they carry with pride
And to a superior Race they do feel they belong
If they feel so right then they cannot be wrong
...

In south west Victoria a grand old country Town
That is known by the name of Camperdown
The few times i was there on every street
Many friendly people i happened to meet
...

He is a young man from the far away town
A tall and handsome fellow with short hair of dark brown
The wanderlust in him in this town his will not be a long stay
In a few weeks from now he will be on his way
...

Politics, current affairs and sports and football
Are things that does not interest him at all
He and his girlfriend does love bird watching walks on Sunday
It is each to their own as some do like to say
...

I cannot say i like self important people they think they are a gift to humanity
Their arrogance i do feel quite off putting love of self gone wrong or so it seems to me
A certain amount of self love for anyone is necessary but for some into narcissism it does grow
And narcissistic people do live for self only and they are never nice people to know
...

Of Nature i learn new things every day
We never stop learning it does seem this way
Right up till our very last night and day
Till the Reaper of Lives on our lives have the say
...

Some people live all of their lives where they first looked on the light of day
Whilst others travel to far off Lands and towns and cities far away
To appease the lust of wander that is born in the mind
The people who yearn for places new to travel are inclined
...

Few of us near to perfect one would have to suppose
And most of us have our friends as well as our foes
My neighbor a lot better person than me
Though eye to eye with him i just cannot see
...
