What Will Rogers Said Poem by Francis Duggan

When he lived the most popular means of transport was the pushbike
Will Rogers who said he never met a man that he did not like
But had the great man being living today
He may look at life in a different way.

To Humanity with his words an honour he did pay
Yet in fairness of him 'twas a big thing to say
To the higher self he was one who was true
And he was a great man to give him his due.

Since Will Rogers lived many Seasons have come and gone
But the words of the great man today living on
He must have loved Humanity to say such a thing
And the praises of such a man we ought to sing.

The good in Humanity he seemed to see
Such words could not come from a cynic like me
With the dead of his Country Will Rogers remains lay
But his name lives as a legend of the U S of A.
