SOBER IN THE MORNING

SOBER IN THE MORNING

A famous leader called Winston Churchill
Quoted a limerick that showed poetic comedy skill
It was Winston who named the Cold War
A riddle, mystery and enigma for sure
In that Soviet era
Russia came ever nearer
To knowing what Britain now stood for
Twice he became Britain’s Prime Minister
Post war prospects became quite sinister
Yet mostly what we seem to remember
Is that V-sign and his cigar’s lit ember
