He Does His Own Thing Poem by Francis Duggan

His mum and dad in him did raise a good son
Since wrong by anyone he never has done
Yet his praises you never do hear others sing
The fellow who does like to do his own thing

In his early twenties a nice sort of a bloke
And one who does laugh when he hears a good joke
But religion, politics, sports and football
Are things that do not interest him at all

He is never seen at the bowls and football club
And he never does drink at the local pub
Of anyone he never has bad things to say
He does his own thing and lives in his own way

Since little in common with him she did share
His girl-friend left him but he does not care
He does his own thing and his needs in life small
And he does not have any worries at all.
