Francis Duggan Poems

Myxomatosis and clavixal virus they have managed to survive
And they multiply quickly thanks to their sexual drive
Farmers and gardeners to make them extinct their best do try
But that rabbits are Nature's great survivors one cannot deny
...

It aches my heart to hear you mourn poor cow
And i would help you if i could somehow
But only God can resurrect your son
Who has fallen victim of the butcher's gun.
...

Humans who think they are masters of Mother Earth in their thinking have got it all wrong
We do not own the Earth we live on but to the Earth we do belong
It is true on our very survival OnMother Earth we do depend
We insult the one who does feed us though she to us is our best friend
...

Few rhymers in life do know of wealth and fame
This writing of rhyme can be a hungry belly game
It is much the same for every rhyming buff
Few interested enough to read their written stuff
...

For our every error and our every mistake there always is some price to pay
For us this is how it is and will be life always works in this way
But why burden your mind with regrets though bad memories with you last
Since it is true we can only learn from our mistakes of the past
...

This comparing of people seems out of control
For each one of us there is a pigeon hole
The tag of winner and loser to everyone does apply
And why this has to be one must wonder why?
...

Money does not fall from the sky in a shower
And it is true that those who have lots of it at their disposal have power
It does speak every language as some are known to say
And in the twenty first century more than ever before it does seem this way
...

I did know her briefly a long time ago
For a brief span of time for three months or so
I did love her back then but she did not love me
There are things in our lives that are not meant to be
...

Doesn't matter if you are young middle aged or one of the old blokes or old dears
Dee Jayne is the one for to check out your ears
An expert on hearing of her one can say
She renders a good service and is easy to pay
...

It is an old time worn cliche that only the good do die young
And in honour of young dead war heroes songs are written and sung
Though they went off to war intent on doing others ill
And it was their intention for to shoot for to kill
