John Keogh

 Not into self promotion on any sort of a way

Yet not the sort of a person one does meet every day

One into self effacement his own praises he never sing

In the twenty first century this is a refreshing thing

Married to a beautiful and famous artist Sandi a woman who loves life

He is devoted to her as any man should be to his wife

They live in a place named Laang between Cobden and Warrnambool

One ought not to underrate John Keogh he is nobody's fool

His humor is infectious of him it can be said

He does have a sharp sense of wit of most one step ahead

He carries laughter in him and shares it around

The John Keoghs of the World in numbers do not abound

He has an injured sulphur crested cockatoo Casper and an injured galah Wonky that he got years ago

And that they may outlive him happens to be so

Among Worldwide parrots their species live for to be old

That some cockatoos live for a century i say to me what has been told

The amazing fellow John Keogh to his birds he does talk

And every morning on his shoulder he takes Wonky for a walk

The cat who visits his yard will not be welcomed with a pat

It may well become the moggy who has killed it's last bird, mouse or rat

He is the type of person himself who does underrate 

But to so many people he is such a good mate

With an infectious sort of humor his sort of great to know

One cannot say of John Keogh that he lacks in the inner glow.
