That Is All I Can Be Poem by Francis Duggan

I have penned rhymes of Mt Rouse and old Penshurst Town
And Warrnambool City a place of renown
Dunkeld, Halls Gap and Hamilton, Hawkesdale and Kirkstall
And dances in Crossley and Illowa Hall
I have penned rhymes of Koroit and Killarney and Port Fairy by the sea
And Tower Hill a place with an old history
But in South West Victoria i am not well known
Where none refer to me as one of their own
The accent i was born into is with me to stay
Some say to me you are from a Land far away
But my heritage to them i never deny
My first home place from here is far north by sky
I feel happy to live in this marvelous Country
Yet i am what i am that is all i can be.
