Today Is A Nice Day Poem by Francis Duggan

In Victoria the weather gets warm in the Summer-time
Some days close to forty in January's prime
But much cooler weather in the Southern Fall
Few days over thirty if any at all
Today is a nice day twenty four degrees
Such good outdoor weather with a freshening breeze
That blow up the street from the park by the bay
With the pleasant scent of newly mowed Summer hay
Such beautiful weather for to be alive
To go for a walk or to go for a drive
Earthly Utopia from here cannot be far away
How could one find fault with a day like today
The song of the magpie melodious and clear
The bird who does sing every day of the year.
