Churchill admired for his sharp wit,
a smoker, drinker, far from fit!
his stoop, his walk, his walking stick,
World doubted if his campaign would click?
he had vision, great leader must,
with which reduced Hitler to dust,
when cornered in a losing war,
he fought back and emerged a star!
despised though for his attitude,
was saved by wit often when rude,
“I would give poison, if your wife”
“I would drink it!” was his reply.
