Memories Of Largs Bay Poem by Francis Duggan

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
On the long Largs Bay jetty that go one hundred metres out to sea
The cray and lobster fishers with their wire mesh catching pots a familiar sight to see
As above the Suburban coastal Town the shades of darkness crawl
At the quiet time of evening when day yields to nightfall
In Largs Bay in South Australia in the stillness of the night
You see and hear the tide flood the wide beach in the silver moonlight
In a factory free coastal Suburban Town such places nowadays rare
As an Earthly Utopia with any Largs Bay can compare
For as long as I live fond memories of the coastal Town I always will retain
And in my flights of fancy I vist there again.
