Richard Burton - Movie Contest

He was of humble birth no 12 of 13 children In a small place called pontyrhydyfen * He had a voice you could listen too Never mind watch him on screen His love life was a well known fact Marrying one a few times for sure Elizabeth was his true love But together it was war. Had many roles as a star The ones that I  prefer Were his classical roles Where his rich accent you could hear. His reading of Dylan Thomas Could make a grown  man cry Under  Milk wood  was a joy Browns Hotel the place to try His last resting  place is not in his homeland It is in Geneva Switzerland  I don't think he wanted his last place To be a shrine for all movie fans. Born a poor soul, gained wealth though his  ability to use his talents fully, his voice and his face, especially His widow Sally said his body is in Geneva His heart was forever in Wales *pronounced.  Pont reader ven, Richard Burton. penned  20 June 2013
