Best Shaw Poems

This is the story of mad Molly Shaw
She might be mad now but she wasn’t before
she came home to find her man dead on the floor

She walked into town with her hair in a mess

George Bernard Shaw,
A critic with a vein of comedy and language, quite raw;
He wrote in a movable shack, he liked photography now and then,
Ladies man, died at 94, cremated and planted in his garden.

George Bernard Shaw, born in 1856,
Wrote plays and novels,
But for me the most
Important was he wrote many a poem
A quote of his “Write your sad times

People reported her with a bit of awe,
Forecasting maybe I would fully see.
Depth of her soul which was unusually old.

Back foot Irishman

Who remembers his
tripe 
Major Barbara 
Androcles and the
lion 
are we all asleep !

Just a man of his
time 
like a five minute
pop star
friend of nancy boy
Bosie Douglas
bringing the poor
main man Oscar Wilde
down

Better self love
than grovelling in
the dirt
how can any real man
or woman dislike
Shakespeare
a friend...

Stephen Hercules Shaw 
Much loved, much missed 
Born the same year as you. 
I rest on the bench

Over the half-frozen half-winter lake
