Francis Duggan Poems

Noel C Duggan the entrepreneur of Millstreet Town
The fellow who did dream of Worldwide renown
Did dream that the 1993 Eurovision Song Contest at his Green Glens Complex would take place
No challenge for him seems too daunting to face
...

Why tell me about it when i already know
That a pheasant never will mate with a crow
Some things are not possible though you disagree
At least anyway that's how it seems to me
...

The men who for Killarney Road Rovers did play
From Neily Duggan's Inch Field some of them live far away
Whilst some of them in and near Millstreet did stay
And a few of them deceased which does seem sad to say
...

For many years i have been a rhyming buff
The rhymes i do pen are referred to as stuff
My best days in life to the forever gone
But i do love rhyming and i will rhyme on
...

Life can be heartbreaking would you not agree
He studied and worked hard for his science degree
Graduated with honors a great career of him seemed ahead
But now he lay lifeless in the place of the dead
...

In view of old Clara from here far away
The nesting birds sing in Mountleader today
The hawthorns are in their white blooms of the May
To describe such beauty are there words for to say
...

My wonder of Nature only seems to grow
The more i learn of her ways so little i know of her i know
Yet of her we learn something new every day
We never stop learning as some like to say
...

On the wetlands covered in water from the recent heavy rain
The magpie geese among other water birds back in Tower Hill again
By sky they do travel for many miles from places far and wide
To the wetlands in the coastal countryside
...

As a teenager quite beautiful she had dark brown hair
In Millstreet's West End than Elizabeth there was none quite so fair
But from the Millstreet Town of her young years she died far away
None of her siblings are living in Millstreet today
...

Some die as babies and some die in their prime
And some do live on for a good span of time
But eventually everyone does have to die
And everyone of course includes you and i
