So Few Things In Life Poem by Francis Duggan

Some great Gaelic players lined out in the green of Millstreet
And it also was home to many a great athlete
As well as rally drivers who were known and feted far and wide
Far beyond the borders of Duhallow's green countryside
Some great greyhounds were owned and trained in and near Millstreet Town
In tracks throughout Ireland they raced to renown
But what used to be is not anymore
And in sports in Duhallow nowadays Millstreet not to the fore
In life as is said few things ever do last
And success does not live on glories of the past
The heroes and heroines of decades ago
Out of the media limelight since time became their foe
So few things in life ever does seem to last
And success does not live on glories of the past.
