We Shan'T Forget You - Battle of Britain's Longest Day August 15
They were young starry-eyed, yet too soon so many had to die.
Brave to a fault with wanderlust of youth, no challenge spurned however seemingly uncouth.
In azure blue skies with only clouds as friends, they sought their prey through war's myopic lens.
No quarter given and none spared by their foes, incandescent bullets superseding schoolyard blows.
Skill and

Fight Putin Alike Churchill Fought Hitler
We’ve all been young dumb
and unaware so has everyone,
we too were the first generation
growing up with tech others hadn’t
I was born last century so to kids I’m old
Born the same year as Back To The Future
predicting widescreen television, video calls,
audio control, using fax but not computer
Fax and

I Think Churchill Would Have Enjoyed Doctor Who
I think Churchill would have enjoyed Doctor Who,
Especially when the war was going slow,
And a whisky was no go,
He may have even given it a good review.
Would he have shown it to the President and Uncle Joe,
I don't know,
The fact that he was portrayed in a scene with the 9th Doctor Who
May have been too

Winston Churchill
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

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."

You Are Not Churchill
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 we will always remember.
They’ve called on characteristics of that time,

Winston
Politician, Leader, Orator, Prisoner of War
Son of Lord Randolph and Jennie, husband of Clementine, father of five
Lover of cuban cigars, trenchcoats, and hats
Who feels love, compassion and righteous anger
Who fears defeat, failure, and Adolf Hitler's victory
Who would love to see the end of WWII, Hitler's downfall, and World Peace

Born in 1874 Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill

Haling Churchill
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 shadows of battleground's unrest;
As the taste for liberty against

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

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 accounts not for the hand of God.
Avoidance weakens a man's
