I am lucky in life in truth i can say
In the beauty i see around me every day
The beauty i do not have to pay to see
That wherever i turn to look is around me
...
There is a bit of a difference between good and great
Though in some ways to each other they does relate
And there is a bit of a difference between friend and mate
And there is also a difference between Nation and state
...
We learn as we live from life every day
And we never stop learning only true to say
And for as long as the gift of memory we retain
The need for more knowledge in us will remain
...
I have said it in the past so many a time
I am just one of those people who loves penning rhyme
I enjoy nothing better than scribbling away
Adding to my numbers of rhymes every day
...
Those who believe there is not more to life than living for me, myself and i
Are people who do believe in their own lie
Narcissistic in their thinking and self centered indeed
The World of more of their sort is not in need
...
You can be anything in life that you wish to be
With such a saying Willie is one who does not agree
Just a hackneyed old phrase to any relevance not true
Extinction for such a phrase ought to be overdue
...
If there is a god that god is for everyone
And not for the billionaires and their daughter and son
Or not for the elite sports people of the town
Feeling superior in the glow of their public renown
...
Don't give up on life though you are feeling down
An ageing poor bloke on the poor side of the town
Forsaken by your adult children and your ageing ex wife
Who now has a far younger man in her life
...
Before the baby walks the baby does crawl
In this respect what applies to one applies to all
Including the child of the monarch and the child born into poverty
Part of our Human Nature would you not agree
...
The temperature quite close to forty degrees
And warmth in the sunshine and warmth in the breeze
In the mostly blue sky just a few clouds of gray
It is warm so warm in the Moyne Shire today
