Harold Wilson

Harold Wilson was Britain's pipe smoking Prime Minister a smart politician as I do recall He was a champion of Britain's Labor voters to many their Nation's best P M of all A stocky round faced man he was as cool as an ice cube about him he did have quite a charming way So clever yet he never did show much emotion he always seemed calm he was quite a man in his day In refusing to commit British troops to the Vietnam war the wily one from Huddersfield was thinking ahead As was proven by the Allies failure in Vietnam with thousands of their brave soldiers dead But Britain was in economic depression and Wilson's Government went down to defeat To the right wing Conservative Party led by the ambitious Ted Heath. In March 1974 Wilson again became Prime Minister but in 1976 he called it a day The pipe smoking Prime Minister of Britain gave his Nation's top job away He retired with his poet wife Mary but alzheimer's did quickly set in And it stripped the great genius of all of his memory in life it is so hard to win. Harold Wilson was a British Prime Minister who later lost his memory But he was a wily campaigner as wily as wily can be He smoked his pipe in his relaxed way in Britain a Labor Party great Till alzheimer's robbed him of his memory who could wish on anyone such a fate.
