Francis Duggan Poems

When i say the judgmental are not of the few
You may say to this do tell us what is new
You are judged by your take home pay and the size of your car
Wherever people socialize the judgmental are
...

It's many famous people one of it's claims to renown
Millstreet in view of Clara a very famous Town
Of green old Duhallow a gem in the crown
For it's people and races of black, white and brown
...

Kathy Baulch is a woman who does like sheep
A small flock of them on her land she does keep
Without a ram in numbers they cannot increase
Their lot is to age in contentment and peace
...

There are good days and bad days in life one can say
Sad news out of Millstreet Sheila Barry has passed away
A woman who did lead by good example in life
As a good mother to her children and to Patsy Barry a good wife
...

Many of the wealthy and famous to the ways of time have gone
In their passing they proved to be expendable life without them goes on
Their wealth and their money did not keep them alive
The sharp scythe of Life's Reaper none known to survive
...

In the mostly blue sky just a few clouds of gray
It is warm and sunny in Illowa today
Quite warm for March in the far southern Fall
It does not feel that much like Autumn at all
...

Birth circumstance, war and drought these three
Among the main causes of extreme poverty
Who would wish to be stateless or homeless or a refugee
In life lady luck she has been kind to me
...

She was the former Pride of Bushfield but this was a long time ago
She has lost the most of her beauty time becomes everyone's foe
A divorced grandmother in her mid sixties with dark hair dye she covers her gray
The beauty of the nineteen seventies is far from a beauty today
...

That The Improbability Of Being you is a fine poem there can be little doubt
As it does give the reader something to think about
Written by Adelaide writer Robert Murray Smith a talented poet indeed
Of more poems such as this the literary World is in need
...

You can tell grumpy people by their body language or tone of voice
On how we do treat others we surely have a choice
On to be cordial in your greetings there is not a monetary price
It does not cost you anything in money to be nice
