A Promiscuous Man Poem by Francis Duggan

He is quite an honest and a hard working bloke
And he enjoys a beer and laughs at a good joke
Sexually wise experienced though he does not have a wife
Many women have come to and gone from his life
He does not have any children of which he does know of though he well may have one
A young woman up north says that her child is his son
Yet with her he begs to differ though he says one like her he did know
One he had a brief affair with six or seven years ago
She is the wife of a shearer when her husband from home shearing was away
He had a few nights of passion with her just one of his many flings as he does say
Though he cannot say how many since a diary he has never kept
With hundreds of young women he reckons he has slept
On a building site he is working where he earns his every pay
In his prime in his twenty eight year his dark brown hair is free of gray.
