Francis Duggan Poems

He believes he is one with great sexual appeal
A gift to woman kind that's how he does feel
A few silly women tell him he is great
And his swollen ego they further inflate,

I heard on the radio in the sports news today
That Ian Thorpe the great swimmer has give competitive swimming away
A winner of nine Olympic medals five of them gold
Of his greatness in story and song we've been told

And our Government leader their ways understand
They love him for his values and to them he appeal
He can read their thoughts and he know how they feel

The Earth will live though human kind their own selves may destroy
In a thousand centuries from now the birds will sing on the trees
Though humans may have been wiped out by some incurable disease.

From high Claramore in view of Clara hill
Rippling to the river with a voice never still
On it's ocean bound journey it flows with a will

In time it only does seem like yesterday
Since to the fields of my young years i said goodbye
On looking back the Seasons how time seems to fly
...

Good memories of what was i only retain
In fancy i walk in the old fields again
When the mild breeze of Spring from the mountain is blowing
And among the rank rushes the male pheasant is crowing
...

You who are into comparing people your favourite subject is Human I Q

You tell us all people are equal yet people you always compare
And sad to think your type are many and sad to think your type are not rare.
...

Though my worth as a rhymer i have reason to doubt
No shortage of things for me to write about
To write rhyme is easy as easy as can be
Anybody can do it you can have that from me

Many people are addictive in some sort of a way
Some drink alcohol to excess every day
Some due to their addiction to narcotics become involved in crime
That culminates in them serving prison time
