David Livingstone

Long, long ago and longer When I was but a child I read of Doctor Livingstone Who ventured in the wild. Dr. David had no fear He went where few had gone. This missionary and explorer To Africa was drawn. The unsophisticated natives Didn’t know the wealth they had Allowed Livingstone to name their falls When he shouted out “Egad. I’ve found what no white man has seen I name it ‘Victoria Falls’”. When back in England he was touted. But lack of adventure palls. He was sent back to Africa To find source of the Nile. He traveled around that continent And became lost for a while. Henry Morton Stanley when he found him, said “Mr Livingstone I presume?” He died in the heart of Africa. Westminster Abbey holds his tomb.
