Francis Duggan Poems

My worth as a rhymer i have reason to doubt
But never shortage of things for me to write about
Who could not feel inspired on this beautiful day
In the blue sunny sky just a few clouds of gray
...

Not the man he once was looking old bald and fat
But Jeremy will tell you i have been there and done that
In some of the World's great Cities London, New York and Rome
He has made a name for himself far distant from home

It is true what is said about life some things never do change
In Warrnambool in the public toilets cubicles on Koroit St it does seem a bit strange
That the recorded music there 'What The World Needs Now Is Love' play again and again
What has love got to do with personal relief seems beyond me to explain

When the once herd boy became the president the masses they did celebrate
From poverty the man from the poor lands had surely achieved something great
He acknowledged the cheers of his supporters his praises they did loudly sing
But now to most who admired him no longer a hero the changes that five years does bring

A little bit of self interest is a thing that one can condone
But a well lived life is never one lived for self alone
Yes there's more to life than self interest that can lead to greed
The good person is always quite willing to help the one of helping in need
...

A true friend is for life this well may be so
But to our lives many do come and do go
And always of the past memories stir up tears
For friends of our young days we have not seen for years

The weather is breezy and windy and cool
Which is sometimes the case in windy Warrnambool
In the last week of october with summer ever near
The weather changes quickly at this time of year
