Wonthaggi Rose and how are you this morning <br />Your cheery smile it helps to make my day <br />The gold billed blackbird whistling on the wattle <br />Though the sun behind the rain clouds hid away. <br /> <br />Wonthaggi Rose has anybody told you <br />That you are in a class all of your own <br />With shoulder length brown hair you do look very pretty <br />And fairer than you I have never known. <br /> <br />Wonthaggi Rose you always seem so happy <br />And out of sorts you I have never seen <br />And you've never looked better than you look this morning <br />So fresh and lovely in your dress of green. <br /> <br />Wonthaggi Rose if some others looked so pretty <br />They would walk around with their head high in the air <br />But you remain down to earth and unconceited <br />And people like you always have been rare. <br /> <br />Wonthaggi Rose how do you do this morning <br />A happy day is all I can wish for you <br />With a beaming smile you always say how are you <br />And there is warmth in your eyes of blue.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wonthaggi-rose/
