Francis Duggan Poems

Most company directors can be rather ruthless since they have the power to hire and fire
Most of their type did not get to the top by being nice people though many them seem to admire
Employees they are not making a huge profit on to them expendable without hesitation their employment they terminate
Yet they are seen to be successful and many does laud them as great

The magpie larks calling out pee wee in the sunlit park by the bay
With just a few gray clouds in the blue sky it is such a beautiful day
For late April beyond mid Autumn there is even warmth in the breeze
The weather temperatures for the time of year quite amazing well over twenty degrees
...

Since Paddy McCarthy lived more than ninety years in time has gone
But in Duhallow today the legend living on
Of the man that the British crown forces did gun down
At Millview Lane in famous Millstreet Town
...

He was the dunce of the classroom in the primary school
A boy dismissed by many as a fool
But the once dunce today a multi millionaire
And what makes him a better person some of his wealth he does share
...

For those who have them their praises i feel happy for to sing
Those with compassion and kindness joy to others do bring
People who do their good deeds every day
To help those in need of helping they go out of their way
...

That they are quite special some children by their well to do parents are told
But in any one Olympic event only one can win the Gold
And in all things in life many losers for every winner as some like to say
That is how it always has been and it will always be this way
...

Why worry of life of what of you lay ahead
Eighty years of living if you are lucky and you are forever dead
So make the most of living and try to enjoy life
One known source of cancer is known as inner strife
...

Us humans with each other are born to compete
To be best in your neighborhood and best on your street
Could it be we are programmed for to be this way
Survival of the fittest as some are known to say
...

On the last time that i was in Yarram Town
Deciduous trees were in their Autumn brown
And weather nice and warm for May
The memory is with me today
...

Old Joe he loves Nature and almost every day
He is watching birds in the park by the bay
Though in his late seventies his love for Nature does grow
And all of the region's birds by their songs or their calls he does know
