We Have Been Told That Rhymers Poem by Francis Duggan

We have been told that rhymers are different to poets
Like sheep in appearance are quite different to goats
And the billionaire different to you and to i
But to live we all breathe air and eventually we die

Wise words from the wise one known as 'we have been told'
That methuselah did die at nine hundred and sixty nine years old
To know this 'we have been told' must have been born many centuries ago
And it does seem that time has not become his or her foe

According to 'we are told' the one known as God has a Kingdom somewhere in the sky
Where good souls when their bodies die on wings to does fly
'We are told' is so clever compared to ordinary me
An immortal genius would you not agree?

The praises of such a fountain of knowledge we ought to sing
'We Are Told' the one who does know everything
The World's wisest and cleverest individual it does seem so
Saw Christ walk on water more than two thousand years ago.
