Premium Member Outrider, Churchill Downs
Outrider early morn,
When training hours are borne,
They are the needed arm,
Sun, cold, wind, rain or storm,

Outrider in the sun,
Whose work is never done,
Where horses on the run,
Keep bettors having fun,

Outrider in the cold,
Ones with hearts so bold,
Their stories often told,
Of skillful ways they rode,

Outrider in...

In the foggy isle of Britannia, many men have sought
Out fortune and fame.
But one man's legacy remains, as steadfast as the walls
Of parliament, a single voice echos, thunders across historical
Reference, and it's meaning sound is crystal clear, We shall
Never surrender, it has become this man's...

Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill Leader Clerihew
Born in 1874 Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill 
Nicknamed Winnie, with a Bulldog spirit ~ resembled my Bulldog Bill
In thinking time sat on his ‘Throne’, Lord Privy Seal rang Winston’s phone   
Yelling his retort said, ‘Tell him I can only deal ~ with one...

Ode To Winston Churchill
Churchill's appeal reflects a unique parentage
combining  American and British heritage.

Winston Churchill, diplomat, lived with criticism,
Britain’s unstoppable prime minister showed
bulldog tenacity coupled with optimism.

His determination was revolutionary
His optimism  looked beyond the problem.
Surrender was not in this man's vocabulary.
In his words, indecision leads to mayhem.

Arrogance...

In parliaments of war and glory
You moved in ways marking life's  truth,
To seal a vow of destined mission
Guiding your path…a brazen, uplifting voice
Sparked by this  incessant  passion which ignited
A nation besieged by roars of combat.

For you came providently into a world
Ripped by...

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!

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...

We did fight on the beaches. We with our allies 
won the war. 
We fought for democracy, for peace forevermore. 
Churchill held a nation in his palm and swore we’d 
never surrender. 

But that was not peace time that was war and his
grit and guile...

Winston Churchill
Liquored up, Churchill liked to converse.
Talking politics, Winston would curse:
“All democracy’s trash!
We don’t act: we rehash.
But the other ‘arrangements' are worse."...
