Short Winston Poems

A ladies' man named Winston MacWilt
pursued many women to the hilt.
He eyed every skirt
ever ready to flirt.
But he died touching a Scot in a kilt....

Sir Winston Churchill
 His wit and   charm lives on still
 Whiskey always touched his lips
 For every morning he took a sip

  —may wisdom prove enough”

To Winston:

Never paid his overdue bill

Because a Shakespeare play he could recite

Diplomacy is telling someone to go to hell
And they ask directions, said Winston Churchill
From my recollection
It changed my complexion
Caused my flesh tones to darken and swell...

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."...

During World War II, Winston Churchill said
“We have nothing to fear but fear itself” nothing to dread
A nasty time it was
For a totally insane cause
Thankfully the world rose up and on Hitler's plans they tread...

Harry Winston, DeBeers, Cartier, or Tiffany;
flawless gems are what I see.
Exquisite diamonds are what lies.
Brilliant sparkles rest in your eyes.
Such beauty is resoundingly positive.
They will gleam as long as you live.

There are two things that are more difficult
than making an after-dinner speech:
climbing a wall which is leaning toward you
and kissing a girl who is leaning away from you.

Life without airliners
  return to a less traveled past
A mere delusion no more

Life without social media
  unthinkable?
No idle chimera in cyber-war

But I would never betray you!

I looked at mental health the way Churchill looked at Hitler, 
I have this one and only shot, and with it, I must deliver.

Just met an 
    Islamic lady 
She was soft spoken 
    far too young for 
me 
   but she did have on a Batman 
tea shirt 
  She has come to AMERICA
  and is learning English 
the same language Winston Churchill 
   spoke 
who has passed 
    into whatever........

in a used books store
tomes of recorded history 
line up on dusty shelves

"Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”
                               ~Winston Churchill

He found what he was looking for,
   his shadow turned inside out

He moved beyond prescriptive cure,
  all questioning and doubt

He left the future-past behind,
  silhouette of all he’d missed

Impregnating the moment within himself
 —to light the dark abyss

(Winston Salem, North Carolina: October, 2017)...

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 Child”....

An English accent helps,
if you’re at least half well dressed
in an American bar.
Your voice maybe a passport
to getting yourself laid
or it may perhaps be an invitation
for some young buck to spoil your night
in a fit of beer rage.
However,
if you leave with the girl,
it was because of your good looking
accent;
and I thank you
Sir Winston Churchill....

I bet they laughed, I bet they howled 
I bet Winston Churchill growled
Where’d you get this loony from
He’s talking ’bout a bouncing bomb

All the drawings all the plans
All the notes and telegrams 
Tell what happens when one slams
Barrels into concrete dams

Laden heavy for the flight
Nineteen bombers in the night
A secret plan too mad to warrant?

First a trickle then a torrent...

Iron lung life isn’t so bad
But I most admit, I’m a little bit mad
All those nights in the bars just a chok’in
To hell with this second hand smok’in
Now, I wish I had enjoyed just a drag
Marlboro, Winston, in England they’re Fags
Not one little puff have I ever tried
But thanks to second hand smoke
My lungs have been fried
Iron lung life isn’t so bad
Maybe I’m cool
It’s the upcoming fad...

Theparatroopers safely landed in England,

Landed in order to kidnap “Sir Winston Churchill”.

Winston tastes good like a knock knock cigarette should.
See the USA in a Chevrolet, visit Dinah Shore along the way.
But be sure and be toting some Chesterfield Lights.
So we can be sexy and sultry on these winter nights.

The Marlboro Man is waiting just around the next bend.
When you see him, blow some smoke rings up in the wind.
Cigarettes are sensual, and they will make you look Kool.
Have one lit up and ready at all times; it is the 50's cigarette rule!...
