All of his years he has spent in Wonthaggi <br />And from Loch Street he never has been far away <br />And he worked for a few decades as a share farmer <br />When he was younger with his brother Ray. <br /> <br />Bought their own farm through their honest endeavour <br />And when Ray passed on their asset he sold <br />Jack of Loch Street never did have it easy <br />But you might say he has a 'heart of gold' <br /> <br />My travels have taken me to many places <br />And some good people I have been lucky to meet <br />But none so kind hearted or as willing to help you <br />As the happy go lucky bloke Jack of Loch Street. <br /> <br />A worker, a rabbiter, a share farmer and farmer <br />And when down on his luck he just seemed to bounce back, <br />A fisherman who loves the sea and the coastlands <br />And a very remarkable fellow is Jack. <br /> <br />All of his years he has lived in Wonthaggi <br />And better than him you could not wish to meet <br />And he's never yearned for the distant places <br />The happy go lucky bloke Jack of Loch Street.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/jack-of-loch-street/
