Winston Churchill

WINSTON CHURCHILL  
  
A Commoner and not a lord,
He spent his life,
And round his bedside,
Stood only his children, and his wife.

His stroke was fatal,
At 8 am on the 24th day
Of January in the year 1965,
God paved his way.

A genius, an orator,
A husband loving and so mild,
A man who swayed the masses,
In fact “History’s Child”.

Lucky Winston! He died with the freedom to smoke his stinky cigars. Had he lived, he would only be allowed to smoke marijuana! Lucky for us, too! Aloha! Rico

"Thank-you for your comment Arturo, I think my fascination of Winston Churchill stems from my grandfather who was an ardent admirer of his. Kind regards, Jennifer"
