An Ordinary Man From An Ordinary Street Poem by Francis Duggan

An ordinary man from an ordinary street
Yet kinder and nicer than he is would be hard to meet
To help those in need of helping he goes out of his way
And he performs at least one good deed sometimes more every day
Unmarried in his early twenties the nice young bloke Stan
Better known by his nickname of the ordinary man
One reason for his nickname is that sport he does not play
And his ordinary nickname seems with him to stay
Till the day that he die and that may be a long time
Since he is not even yet in his life's prime
That he is a kind and caring person is seldom taken into account
As nowadays such honorable traits to little seem to amount
In sports he has never shown any interest at all
And most of the young local heroes are good at football.
