Francis Duggan Fun Poems

Do not make fun of the poor woman she may be old wrinkled and gray
She once was a young person like you are and you will be like her one day
And you too will look old and wrinkled and you too will walk stiff and slow
The woman is in her mid eighties and respect to her you ought to show.
...

Do not take yourself too seriously there may not be a hereafter
And life is brief so very brief enjoy some fun and laughter
Constantly thinking of your problems does not lessen your worry
The one who weeps does weep alone and time is on the hurry
...

Back there in old green Ballydaly by Boggeragh hills far away
They did have their Sports and Fun Sunday on the last day of Spring and of May
From the images from there on the Millstreet Web Site not many faces I do know
Since I last lived near Ballydaly it now seems a long time ago.

In the sandpit field we often watched in the afternoon of sunday
Our renowned juggler Matty Owen give his juggling display
We marvelled at his dexterity how wonderful we cried
But we could never juggle with stones though hard enough we tried.
