Bernie Ecclestone


Bernie Ecclestone.



Max Schmeling gave Germany a boost

he ruled the world heavyweight roost.

Nineteen thirty that very same year

baby Bernie was to appear.



A hamlet, St. Peter, South Elmham

for Bernie it all began.

In one eye nearly blind

nature had been unkind.



Regarded school as useless

just maths he gained success.

Always wheeler dealing

profit and quality appealing.



Doing a double paper round

determined to get of the ground.

Definitely not a shirker

a thinker and hard worker.



Motorcycling his first career

bad vision would interfere.

Real estate and loan financing

brought a financial upswing.



Managed several racing drivers

admired by worldly followers.

Buying Brabham from Tauranac

never really looking back.



The rest is for the history books

out thinking spivs and crooks.

Admittedly never an angel

clever, articulate, able.
