Francis Duggan Poems

A dark skinned dark haired beauty of eyes of dark brown
The fairest by far on her side of the town
As nice a person as one could wish to meet
She carries joy with her when walking the street
...

I never shed a tear at the news of any wealthy celebrity who does die
If i said that i did this would be a lie
At the loss of a dear friend i would only shed tears
One i have known and loved for many years
...

Everybody have their own life stories to tell
Though few ever published in book form to sell
Stories of the wealthy and famous we hear of and read every day
It is a winner's Human World in truth one can say
...

Though the day is not raining a cool chill about
Winter has arrived in the Land of the south
There is a certain coolness in the timid breeze
On a cool high for the day of sixteen degrees
...

Old Ted says there is a reason at eighty two that i am alive
Good health only one reason to this age i did survive
And it is not due to luck alone that anyone to an old age does last
I am one who has never driven my car too fast
...

A lotto big jackpot winner today celebrate
Financially he was not doing well of late
But a ten dollar lotto ticket has made him five times a millionaire
The lucky as he is in the World are rare
...

Corvids are not good singers as everyone know
But few birds as clever as the black feathered crow
I have see ravens dip hard bread to soften in water which made me realize how clever they are
Of all the birds i know of the cleverest by far
...

Known by the nickname of Nothing To Say
He never greets anyone with a good day
Though down to earth and quite free of guile
He is one who does not know how to smile
...

Though my wonder of her only does seem to grow
So little about her i can claim for to know
Though i can tell apart a ram from a ewe
But on the knowing of this i am not one of a few
...

For the second day of June and the calendar Winter such a beautiful day
The sun shining bright in a sky blue and gray
Old Illowa a month ago brown now is looking so green
As beautiful looking as it has ever been
...
