Sir Winston S Churchill

 

Of small stature and odd in shape

he never once did our attention escape

A statesman bold and forthright

he held high the sceptre of right

A orator of incomparable eloquence

which few others could ever silence

A politician adroit and adept

a man of compassion who easily wept

With pen and ink he enriched each page

a master of brush and canvas, a veritable sage

An aristocrat he stood alongside the common man

and his years did nearly a century span

He championed the cause of democracy and liberty

against the evils of a foreign tyranny

He joined a trades union to build a garden wall

and worked assidiously for Hitler´s downfall

We look today at our political elite

and there is not one with Churchill to compete

Faithful to Crown and Nation

he stood firmly at his parliamentary station
