Aneurin Bevan

Aneurin Bevan
must sit uneasy in heaven
the national health service was his endeavour
instant treatment not wait forever.

I had no idea about this man before I learned of him in your clerihew. I even had to google him. I think he did not want the health system to end up the way it did, so I think he sits easy in heaven (unless he was a normal politician up to no good!!) Loved this one, Seren. Congrats with one of several of the second places!

He would turn in his grave Seren, sadly now run like businesses, the horror stories and what goes on would shock you ( my wife and two daughters work for the N.H.S.) I.believe the government want it to be money making organisation. There's a pub down in Cardiff named after him. Good luck in the contest. Tom.
