Francis Duggan Poems

Politics, current affairs and sports and football
Are things that does not interest him at all
He and his girlfriend does love bird watching walks on Sunday
It is each to their own as some do like to say
...

I cannot say i like self important people they think they are a gift to humanity
Their arrogance i do feel quite off putting love of self gone wrong or so it seems to me
A certain amount of self love for anyone is necessary but for some into narcissism it does grow
And narcissistic people do live for self only and they are never nice people to know
...

Of Nature i learn new things every day
We never stop learning it does seem this way
Right up till our very last night and day
Till the Reaper of Lives on our lives have the say
...

Some people live all of their lives where they first looked on the light of day
Whilst others travel to far off Lands and towns and cities far away
To appease the lust of wander that is born in the mind
The people who yearn for places new to travel are inclined
...

Few of us near to perfect one would have to suppose
And most of us have our friends as well as our foes
My neighbor a lot better person than me
Though eye to eye with him i just cannot see
...

Most company directors can be rather ruthless since they have the power to hire and fire
Most of their type did not get to the top by being nice people though many them seem to admire
Employees they are not making a huge profit on to them expendable without hesitation their employment they terminate
Yet they are seen to be successful and many does laud them as great
...

The magpie larks calling out pee wee in the sunlit park by the bay
With just a few gray clouds in the blue sky it is such a beautiful day
For late April beyond mid Autumn there is even warmth in the breeze
The weather temperatures for the time of year quite amazing well over twenty degrees
...

Since Paddy McCarthy lived more than ninety years in time has gone
But in Duhallow today the legend living on
Of the man that the British crown forces did gun down
At Millview Lane in famous Millstreet Town
...

He was the dunce of the classroom in the primary school
A boy dismissed by many as a fool
But the once dunce today a multi millionaire
And what makes him a better person some of his wealth he does share
...

For those who have them their praises i feel happy for to sing
Those with compassion and kindness joy to others do bring
People who do their good deeds every day
To help those in need of helping they go out of their way
...
