Francis Duggan Poems

Though my wonder of her only seems to grow
Of Nature's ways so little i do know
Her wonders many and her secrets not few
And from her every day i learn something new
...

Whether my last remains are buried or to ash does burn
I am of Nature and to her i will return
In some future day whenever that will be
My best days are gone time is running out on me
...

Though love sometimes on it has a use by date
With the feelings of true love few things in life rate
But the disappointment of lost love does give rise to tears
And the feeling of love ache can linger for years
...

With eyes to the scrub for small creature to kill
A monarch of the sky soaring above Tower Hill
Australia's largest avian predator of feathers dark brown
One who likes to live far from the noisy big town
...

It is always the winners who write the war history
The winning war leaders are never tried for crimes against humanity
It is always the losing leaders end up in jail and are killed by firing squad or hung
The praises of losing leaders of a war are never ever sung
...

Broadminded in thinking and in their ways nothing small
My heroes and heroines believe on a fair go for all
Though not among the celebrated on their side of the town
You never do hear them put anyone down
...

In his life he made less friends than foes
And he died as he lived one suppose
To those who opposed him by him mercy not shown
Gaddafi was killed by his own
...

Do not expect a cheap product to last until amen day
You get what you pay for as some like to say
Like what you put into life in return you receive
At least anyway that's what i do believe
...

They build cup shaped mud nest on fork of branch of tree
The birds known as mudlark or magpie lark or to some as pee wee
I know them by their song everyday them i do see
Birds familiar to many and familiar to me
