Poem
Lord Denis Healey was an intellectual Labour MP, Who represented Leeds in the Commons for 40 years, From 1952 until 1992, When he could at last objectify as a Lord his real tears. He was a Beach Master hero in World War Two, But his bravery continued in his post-war politics, When he advised other politicians on how Britain could, Live within her means to become again productive, good. He was then Secretary of State for Defence, Between 1964 and 1970, When the Cold War so frightened and intimidated the many, Who just wanted their war victory respected in reverence. When he became the Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1976, He demanded an emergency loan from the IMF, To save the pound from decline and most certain collapse, When Britain was fast approaching that Winter of Discontent, lapse. However, after that Labour did not see power until 1997, But Healey became the Deputy Labour leader in 1980; And for most of the 80s he was Shadow Foreign Secretary, And was slow at Falkland Island assault and battery. He was normally on the right of the Labour party, A patriot who championed social justice, Who guided us through some very dangerous times, Where the country’s growing pains were his signs. He’s the last surviving member of the cabinet, Of Harold Willson’s government in 1964, But when he graduated from Balliol Oxford in Greats, Him and the Communist Party were pally mates. He had a love of classical music, But was enthused and besotted by poetry; Shakespeare and Wordsworth were his philosophers, And Blake and Butler Yeats he always did glorify. Denis Healey died aged 98 at his home in Surrey on the 3rd of October 2015
