Francis Duggan Poems

Racism and Rank are humanity's shame
All people should be equal and the same
But in my lifetime this will never be
In the Human World of inequality
...

The poetess long dead but her words living on
Since she passed away many Seasons have come and have gone
The one who had penned many a memorable poem and song
To the long deceased legends she now does belong

Down in the Saltpan Country the saltpans white as snow
You won't see many animals where only saltbush grow
All through the thirsty Summer the days are warm and long
In the dry and the bare countryside known as the Coorong

Down by the Port River on a February day
In the blue sunny sky just a few clouds of gray
The silver gulls called in the fresh coastal air
And a lovely young woman with blond shoulder length hair
...

A coastal Suburb of Adelaide delightful old Largs Bay
The beach from any street there just a short walk away
Eight months of the year nice warm weather such a livable place
The home of many happy people and many a sun bronzed face
