Most people wearing the green of Ireland such a pretty sight
On the last day of April of wind and sunlight
People for the music and song from places far away
Are in Koroit Town for Irish Festival Day
On Saturday morning the last day in April of twenty degrees
Such beautiful weather of sunshine and breeze
In the sunny blue sky woolly clouds of gray
On the flag posts in Koroit the green, white and gold flags of Ireland everywhere on display.
Where the cultural links to Ireland remain as ever strong
Irish Festival Day in Koroit is of Irish music, dancing and song
A day in the Moyne Shire when old friends do meet
In Koroit the colors and culture of Ireland prominent on every street
In Koroit Town on Festival Day the atmosphere is great
The Irish and those with links to Ireland know how to celebrate
And the beautiful weather of wind and sun
One can only say does add to the fun
The songs and music of Ireland so pleasant to hear
Irish Festival Day in Koroit only comes once a year
Smiling and happy looking faces on every street
There is always fun and laughter when the Irish do meet.

In Life Everyone
In life everyone has their up and down times of this i too am aware
One cannot expect to go through life without having some cross for to bear
Like the loss of a dear friend for to grieve for something that makes you feel down
Or financial or poor health problems will not make you feel the happiest one in the town
Lady luck cannot always be with you everyone knows of a bad day
You cannot always be happy and cheerful life is not meant to be this way
Though laugh and the World laughs with you remains as an ever true
If you have felt happy for some while a bad day you soon will be due
Everyone have their own stories of their good and their bad days to tell
Of happy times mingled with laughter and of times of sadness as well
Life is what you do make of it as some have been known for to say
There is a time for socializing as well as for work and for play
For winners there has to be losers this is how it always will be
It is part of our human existence at least this is how it does seem to me.

I Am Surrounded
I am surrounded by many high achievers them i do see every day
Professionals quite well educated who are well rewarded in pay
In pairs or alone or in small groups they pass me without looking with my type they do not fraternize
To them dress wise i look quite different each to their own i have come to realize
In reality we all are equal since we are born for to die one day
But some feel they are better than some others they see life in a different way
Though many professional well educated people are quite nice and say hello to every stranger they meet
But even in every box of ripe eating apples there are always some than others less sweet
Like is said take people as you find them with such a saying i can only agree
I do leave them to their own small world those who feel they are better than me
I feel no desire to be part of their circle since me they do choose to ignore
Birds of a feather mostly flock together this one you would have heard of before
One should not look up to or look down on anybody and try to treat everyone as the same
Or never be rude or offensive or call anyone out of name.

Jim And Scott
Wherever he goes to he takes his dog with him
Scott the black and white border collie is a true friend to Jim
A far better friend to him than was Kate his ex wife
Who for the love of another walked out on his life
The bond between Jim and Scott keeps getting stronger wherever he goes to he takes his dog along
Your dog as a friend will never forsake you the bond between humans and their dogs is strong
Jim in his mid seventies Scott in his prime years he will be three in early July
Humans than dogs live years longer though time does not wait it keeps on ticking by
Ten times a granddad Jim does feel time wear as is said time becomes everyone's foe
When he was younger he could walk faster and further but going back the Seasons that was long ago
When he goes walking Scott is always with him from his master's side his dog never far
On Sunday he goes for a drive out the country Scott always happy in the back seat of the car
Jim says that Scott is his loyal companion truest and best friend he has ever known
He bought him from a border collie breeder as a puppy and between them friendship to bonding has grown.

Good And Bad People
In every town, village and city in the big World out there
Good and bad people to be found everywhere
In every gender, creed, nationality and race
The good and the bad are in every place
They possess great gifts the compassionate and kind
So willing to help others always inclined
Others to live better they always inspire
And of singing their praises i never could tire
Sad to say some in their ways are quite small
Though there is room for improvement in us all
Even in every bad person there can be a good side
In minds where dark thoughts the light of goodness does override
And good and bad people to be found everywhere
In every place in the big World out there.

On Malcolm Turnbull
Malcolm Turnbull is a popular Australian Prime Minister most Australians would agree
But he acts as one who feels rather precious to me
His posh accent is not of the down to earth class
On the Malcolm fan club i think i will pass
An ex merchant banker and a multi millionaire
With those doing it tough nothing in common he does share
The majority of voters him and his Government does please
By being tough on the unemployed and boat refugees
Like all power hungry people opinionated in his way
On what he thinks is good for Australia he likes to have his say
So many good things of him have been written and said
No wonder his well pumped ego barely fits in his big head
I wonder what the Australians voters in him does see
He seems rather posh and up himself to me.

To Many I Look At Life Quite Differently
To many i look at life quite differently
Which in majority thinking makes an outsider of me
With my ideas and opinions many do disagree
But i am what i am this is all i can be
My ideas on religion, nationalism, patriotism and war yet to win me a good friend
It has made of me an outsider why otherwise pretend
That similar interests and ideas bring people together i do feel aware
And with many i have so little in common to share
Which makes out of me one who is a minor scribe
In a community minded place as one without a tribe
And since i will not be changing my ideas and opinions friendships for to win
I must live with the tag of the 'does not fit in'
I follow no leader think in my own way
And each to their own as the wise one does say.
