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
Back foot Irishman
who remembers his tripe 
Major Barbara n Androcles and the lion 
are we all asleep !

Just a man of his time

friend of Michael IRA Collins

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