George Bernard Shaw

Back foot Irishman
who remembers his tripe 
Major Barbara n Androcles and the lion 
are we all asleep !

Just a man of his time 
like a five minute pop star
friend of nancy boy Bosie Douglas
bringing poor Oscar down

Better self love than grovelling in the dirt
how can any real man or woman dislike Shakespeare
friend of Michael IRA Collins
Back foot Irishman

I respect George Bernard Shaw, but I LOVE Shakespeare. Yes, Nigel, you are nearly in Heaven.

Never read any of his work, but did see one play years ago. It was not what I expected, I remember a lot of humor.
