Limerick: Once the Great Leader Gave a Brave Speech

Limerick : Once the Great Leader gave a brave speech

    for Charmaine Chircop, with thanks

Once the Great Leader gave a brave speech
Excused himself for his over-reach :
« I give One to save Ten »
His Poor in need live when
Even bomb victims still feed the leech.

Good Morning! Charma! If you'll do me the favour of accepting the dedication, I'll be floored. Thank you ever so much. If I'm right, this's the first time you're dropping by. In any case, Soyez la bienvenue! Bienvenida! Wilkommen! Of course, the allusions in the limerick matter for much, and I'm sure you got them all right. Every good wish. Wignesan
