Warrnambool's John

I do see John often though not every day The old Polish fellow his hair silver gray Sixty years in Australia in time quite a span One can say of him he's a well travelled man. Rendered Homeless and Stateless by the Soviets sixty years ago Of sorrow and hardship in his life he can claim to know In sixty years he has not been back to Poland his Homeland far away In the City of Warrnambool he will live his last day. One might say of him he is Warrnambool's own For in the sea side City he is quite well known And as well as well known quite well liked I must add For one like him there's no need for to feel sad He has known some tough times but 'twould seem fair to say That he's not embittered by life in any sort of a way Honest and down to earth and intelligent and wise That he has many friends does come as no surprise.
