Goodbye
Usama Bin Laden
Usama Bin Laden was born in Riyadh in 1957. He is said to be the 17th of 52 children by Yemeni born Muhammad Bin Laden, Saudi Arabia's wealthiest construction magnate with close ties to King Faisal of Saudi Arabia. After his father's death in 1968 Usama Bin Laden inherited some estimated $300 million
The Camp David peace accords between Egypt and Israel, the overthrow of the Shah of Iran and the subsequent creation of a ‘shiite’ Islamic regime , plus, the soviet invasion of Afghanistan changed the young man's perception of the world. "I was enraged," he told the newspaper ‘Al Quds Al Arabi.’
Usamah Bin Laden.
Saudi Arabia the place of his birth
his father seemingly ruling the earth
the construction business brought him fame
wealth, power, in this Arab domain.
52 children his father would sire
bricks and mortar not his only desire
the Sunni religion instilled in them all they considered it better than Peter,Paul Young Usama tired of it all
wealth and luxury was not his call
he decided that fame was his game
and Sunni fame his ultimate aim.
Free thinking Russians he started on first
Infidals all! was his first outburst
if your not Sunni your nothing at
all no think no fun no having a ball.
Slapping the deck five times a day
then babying women, going astray
up to the hills shouting the odds
bombing killing playing at gods
Killing all no question asked
Christians, Muslims, all stood aghast
we went through this centuries ago
inquistions, burnings, they had to forego.
He eventually met an American elite
out of the sky, in his secret retreat
guns ablaze, nowhere to run
his wasted life was finally done.

Lennon
John Winston Lennon. MBE.
1940-1980.
b.Liverpool.
Despite his artistic talent at school,
taking the micky, acting the fool,
wasting his own time and others too,
damning reports he was to accrue.
Liverpool College of Art he attends,
pet subject, he should make amends,
still insisting on messing about,
a year short of finishing, thrown out.
His love of music continued apace,
Lonnie Donegan was the skiffle ace,
Lennon forms his Quarrymen,
MaCartney joins these skiffling men.
In 1960 The Beatles were formed,
soon the U.S. Would be informed,
the British invasion was taking shape,
get ready with that ticker tape.
Please Please Me was number one,
plenty more where that came from,
I Want to Hold Your Hand was next,
the American Billboard was annexed.
Lennon decided to live in the states,
outside his hotel a man walks, waits,
Mark Chapman he goes by name,
squeezing a trigger, Lennon was slain.

Dietrich
Colonel-General Joseph ‘Sepp’ Dietrich SS
Sepp Dietrich spent part of his youth as a butchers apprentice, then rose through the ranks of the German army to command the sixth SS Panzer Army.
Colonel-General Joseph ‘Sepp’ Dietrich SS
1893-1966
Ever met that kind of guy
that sits, stares you in the eye.
You know he’s squaring for a fight
just hoping for a scrap tonight.
Pugnacious looking cocky too
violence comes oozing through.
Never seen him in your life
clocking you then your wife.
‘Sepp‘ Dietrich fits that bill
punching people for a thrill.
Swaggering braggart, bully too
glowering over yours, you.
You would have thought this man
would have been an also ran.
No education to speak of
seemingly, all push, shove.
Then soldiering caught Seppy’s eye
he waved the butchers shop good bye.
In 1911 he starts his climb
through the ranks in double time.
The Great War came, went
a rising star in this event.
A Sgt. Majors badge he wore
well decorated for this tour.
The war lost on Berlins say
the Freikorps his next foray.
Fighting Commies on the street
the reds soon beat a quick retreat.
Dietrich soon caught Hitler’s ear
Hitler quick to commandeer.
They formed the SS Leibstandarte
head bouncer was Seppy’s part.
33’ became Dietrich’s year
A star in Major-Generals gear.
In charge of Hitler’s murder squad
and boy! did he ride roughshod?
Killing all no questions asked
for Dietrich just a menial task.
But soon again the winds of war
had General Dietrich back on tour.
No disgrace at high command
with some success on Russian land.
Then he moved to western shores
allied pilots closed the doors.
Through a long military career
Geneva’s rules did not appear.
To concern Dietrich in any way
only Dietrich would hold sway.
At Nurembourg we would hear
the cruelties of this career.
Unarmed prisoners made to stand
the last word heard--the FIRE! command.

Dibnah
1938-2004.
Fred Dibnah.
Not the usual broadcasting type,
left the army without a stripe,
a fag and beer man, common, bluff,
two wives ran off, had enough.
Chimney stacks, steeplejacks,
steam engines, old shacks,
pits, holes, mine shafts,
Victorian skills and crafts.
Struggling to make ends meet,
never admitting to defeat,
then the BBC came near,
a suggestion, a talk, a beer.
So starts a television career,
Fred articulate, intelligent, sincere,
interesting detailed facts,
millions his laid back style attracts.
About nineteen shows in all,
super stardom for this odd ball,
then cancer, Fred did his best,
alas, Tonge Cemetery laid to rest.

Runstedt
Gurd Von Runstedt
Gerd von Rundstedt was born in 1875 at
Aschersleben in Saxony, the son of a
Hussar Officer who later became a
Major General. At the tender age of
twelve Gerd entered the cadet military
academy, then rose to command the
German army.
Field Marshall Gerd Von Rundstedt
1875-1953
Twelve years of age his career began,
Quickly maturing from boy to man,
A junior ensign at just seventeen,
Quickly adapting to military routine.
Sardonic by nature, true to his line,
Inefficiency quick to malign,
Standard uniform studiously dressed,
Military know how his family blessed.
A major general his father became,
Gerd determined to better his game,
Gaining experience through the Great War
Surviving this as Company Major.
Not a supporter of Nazi success,
But government orders he would address,
In '32 came Marshall Law,
Social democrats made to withdraw.
Conflicting earnestly with Hitlers men,
Calling Hitler a comedian,
Taking retirment in '38,
Hitler then would reinstate.
Making him commander of army group north,
Into Poland he immediately set forth,
Polands defeat a great success,
But Rundstedt disliking the murderous SS.
Getting a move away from them,
Torture and cruelty he did condemn,
With Army Group South he took command,
Leading the invasion of Russian land.
Barbarossa initially a great success,
But winters chill the Russians would bless,
Rundstedt requested to withdraw his men,
To re-equip and attend to them.
Hitler refused and ordered them on,
Orchestrating his own swan song,
Sacking Rundstedt on the spot,
Rundstedt lucky not to be shot.
Reinstated the very next year,
Supreme commander showing no fear,
Arguing with Hitler, Goering as well,
Hitler again bid him farewell.
In '44 reinstated again,
As supreme commander he would remain,
Hitler demanding Gurd stop the rot,
At last conceding he’d lost the plot.
Never tried at Nuremburgh,
A soldiers soldier, undeterred,
Sraight, honest, the thinking kind,
One of the few that kept his mind.

Major General Orde Charles Wingate DSO
The most unconventional General in the British army during the Second World War was undoubtedly Major General Orde Charles Wingate. His eccentricity in matters of dress, diet, and military operations had caused comment even before the Second World War. Military they were not successful , therefore Wingate can only be regarded as a pioneer in that field. Major General Orde Charles Wingate DSO. 1903- 1944
Unconventional in any day, in diet, in dress, in military fray.
Drawing attention the year he began eccentricity the master plan.
Fluent in Arabic he went to Sudan but shortly after a change of plan.
To Palestine the next event
where Jew, Arab, wouldn't relent.
Jews he favoured in this timeless war
advising how to settle the score.
Night patrols, surprise tactics
developing his bag of tricks.
Diverse, changing, never the same
frustrating Arabs in this little game.
Haile Selasse wanted him next
Italian soldiers his country annexed.
Wingates skill came to the fore
soon Italians reigned no more.
Haile Selassie back on the throne
ruling Ethiopia virtually alone.
Burma next and different terrain
Japanese soldiers ruled this domain.
Wingate ruthlessly over the top
his badly wounded instantly shot.
But Japanese soldiers not easily fooled
in jungle tactics efficiently schooled.
Burmese, Ghurkhas, British elite
speedily outwitted, made to retreat.
Deep penetration his last campaign
for him a theory it would remain.
In '44 he took to the sky
At 41 years young Wingate would die.

my dogs brilliant
My Brilliant Dog.
There's lots of things you dont know about my dog,
Its not lazy in winter like that dozy hedgehog,
In summer its frisky and plays around,
it poos all over the local football ground.
It pees all over my neighbors lawn,
It wakes me up at the crack of dawn,
It free, its happy, it does what it likes,
it slashes against dusbins and bikes.
Its never asks me to pick up its poo,
like fascist councils ask him to do,
they are a disgrace to the human race,
notices, all over the place.
They know damn well that dogs can't read,
Its just the stuff that makes my heart bleed,
my dogs brilliant but it never came to that,
he never got a collegiate hat.

Gilbert and George a blue stocking dance

They loved Margaret Thatcher royalty too
a quiet corner a little soft shoe.

Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, Sword success
Omaha causing most distress.
Six days fighting to link all five
over four thousand allies did not survive.
The bocage of Normandy made progress slow
we hadn't took Caen or Saint Lo.
A breakout needed momentum regained
Omar Bradley called Monty and explained.
Monty approved of Gen. Bradley’s plan
the plan imaginative and Bradley elan.
So operation Cobra swung into action
with enthusiasm, passion.
Field Marshal Gunther von Kluge prepared
but allied fighter bombers undeterred.
The Falaise pocket about to be closed
Marshall Kluge would be deposed.
Hitler ordered him to fight on
Kluge knew it was his swan song.
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Kluge committed hari kari.

Under New York skies his first yawn,
the first of two boys he was born.
Parents divorced when Chris was four,
divorce respectful mutual rapport.
Piano lessons aged nine,
disposition benign.
Acting, sports, scholar too,
which one would he pursue?
Acting seemed to be his strength,
this he pursued at length.
The Aviator, Superman,
certainly no also ran.
A licensed pilot he became,
crossed the Atlantic in his plane.
Nothing much he wouldn't try
his career had reached a high.
Riding horses another desire
awful accident did transpire.
From neck down he couldn't move
woefully, he did not improve.

[Moishe Segal]
Vitebsk- Russia.
1887-d.1985 France.
His parents devout Hasidic Jews,
Youngest of six with lots of shmooze,
Day after day at the crack of dawn,
His father the synagogue to pray, mourne.
His family no artistic talents at all,
Education limited to Jews like Chagall,
Mother pays for a Russian high school,
So avoiding the exclusionary rule.
Chagall not accepting conventional style,
Modernist, eclectic, versatile,
Travelling much to look and learn,
From self assertion he would not turn.
In France he quickly came to fame,
Ignoring the French cubist game,
A ripe colour gift, fresh, unashamed,
Masterly, controlled, untamed.

Churchill
Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill.
Born Blenheim Palace.
1905, Under Secretary of State for the Colonies.
1908, President of the Board of Trade.
1910, Home Secretary.
1911,First Lord of the Admiraly.
1917, Minister of Munitions.
1919, Secretary of State for War and Air.
1921,Colonial Secretary.
1939, First Lord of the Admiralty.
1940, PM.
30 Nov. 1874. Died 24 Jan 1965. London.
---------------------------------------------------
A very auspicious start to life,
not beset with trouble or strife,
nurse, boarding school, it began,
his parents distant, also ran.
The British Empire at its peak,
the establishment, proud, chic,
gaslight and candles prevailed,
the telephone, yet to be hailed.
John Churchill made the family name,
a clever soldier in Queen Annes reign,
international status, military well known,
Anne financed his Blenheim home.
After Johns death the family name,
not really getting national acclaim,
young Winston would change all that,
with writing, politics, military combat.
Brighton, Harrow, Sandhurst schooled,
confident, bossy, often overruled,
1900 his breakthrough came,
winning Oldhams political game.
Forty years later he became PM,
Hitler causing international mayhem,
Churchill relishing the oncoming fight,
rallying the country and all its might.

---------------------------------------------------
A very auspicious start to life,
not beset with trouble or strife,
nurse, boarding school, it began,
his parents distant, also ran.
The British Empire at its peak,
the establishment, proud, chic,
gaslight and candles prevailed,
the telephone, yet to be hailed.
John Churchill made the family name,
a clever soldier in Queen Annes reign,
international status, military well known,
Anne financed his Blenheim home.
After Johns death the family name,
not really getting national acclaim,
young Winston would change all that,
with writing, politics, military combat.
Brighton, Harrow, Sandhurst schooled,
confident, bossy, often overruled,
1900 his breakthrough came,
winning Oldhams political game.
Forty years later he became PM,
Hitler causing international mayhem,
Churchill relishing the oncoming fight,
rallying the country and all its might.

Nasser
Gamil Abdul Nasser
President of Egypt.
1918- 1970
The postman’s wife gave birth to child,
Beni Morr village didn’t go wild,
another boy of peasant stock,
a scruffy urchin running amok.
No one saw no one cared,
whom young Gamils thoughts were shared,
an active mind he noticed things,
golden bangles, golden rings.
From boy to youth with incumbent desire,
the military academy he did aspire,
with alacrity of mind the youth was blessed,
the officer class he quickly addressed.
As Major Nasser he first saw war,
when UN proposals they did ignore,
partition was offered the Arabs refused,
Israel from then belonged to the Jews.
Egyptians, Syrians, Jordanians attacked,
all three armies Jews quickly sacked,
a complete calamity was the '48 war,
the Jews gained more land than catered for.
After this shocking military defeat,
Nasser advocated officers meet,
radical change was planned in the land,
a coup d'etat with Nequib in command.
Two kings they removed to clear the way,
then declared a republic would hold sway,
the removal of Nequib they had to arrange,
he was not in favour of radical change.
And so at last ‘Al Rayess’ emerged,
with agrarian reform he quickly surged,
more equality he certainly achieved,
removing the British to which we agreed.
Alas his great weakness was Israel,
Fedayeen attacks would never prevail,
in ‘56 his skin was saved,
for U.S. intervention he must have prayed.
I'n '67 he had to resign,
his military prowess was proved benign.
the West Bank, Gaza, Golan Heights and all,
his air force reduced to a fireball.
But luck indeed favours the brave,
the Arab people his skin would save,
rallying round when needed most,
breathing life into a military ghost.
In 1970 El Rayess would die,
the whole Arab world was seen to cry,
the postman’s son had died so young ,
in his short life liberation had sprung.
Mistakes he made he would concede,
but beloved Egypt had to bleed,
the canal closed for eight long years,
he must have been close to tears.
jb. El Gamil Club.[Al Rayess/ Jamal]
other names for him.

Joe calzaghe
Joe Calzaghe. The best box/ fighter the UK has ever seen. Born 23 March 1972. Hammersmith, London. 3 time ABA champion. Over ten years a world professional champion.
1972, baby Joe shows shows his face,
Well To Do won the Aintree race,
Carlos Monzon world middle weight champ,
Butlins sold their camps to Rank.
Joe's father Enzo a Sardinia man,
But Enzo's father had another plan,
The Bedford brickyards on Englands soil,
Joe's grandfather Guiseppe began to toil.
The Calzaghe's were a restless lot,
But playing sport the usual upshot,
England , Sardinia, football and fight,
Both sports played with much delight.
At school Joe packed the football team in,
To spend more time in the boxing gym,
Bullied, hassled, shouted out,
The kids gave Joe some clout.
But Joe fancied the warrior's sport,
To stand alone, face the onslaught,
Never beaten in a professional bout,
You should have heard them, scream, shout

Augustus John.

Post-impressionist.

In a rather gloomy home he starts life,
father sulking over the death of his wife.
His dead mother taught the basics of art
a fundamental jump start.
Father warned “ never go out on market days
gypsies about looking for strays”.
A local artist gives further lessons
Augustus soaking up these sessions.
Finally, the Slade School of art
the countries best taking part.
Then going Bohemian drinking heavily
his best work produced eventually.
Founding Chelsea Art School
regarded as the nations jewel.

Shirley Bassey
Shirley Veronica Bassey DBE. CBE.
Born, 8 January 1937.
Tiger Bay, Cardiff, Wales.
----------------------
Hardly an auspicious start to life,
Bute Street built for trouble, strife,
Her family large, a little wild,
when father made himself reviled.
The police arrested and made it stick,
their father getting five years nick,
Deportation followed his time,
Shirley to young, unaware of crime.
Mother a toughie, intelligent too,
I think we'll move and start anew,
Mother knew when to duck and dive,
my kids are mine, they will survive.
It's got to be mother that Shirley likes best,
always there, passing the test,
Thanks for that Shirley you sure came through,
diamonds are forever, that's your mother and you.

travelling and singing all over France,
eventually parting, she took her chance.
Place Pigalle she sings out loud,
always attracting an admiring crowd,
a nightclub owner heard her voice,
he rather liked her charm and poise,
He gave her work at his club 'Le Gerny',
thus encouraging this amazing journey,
The Little Sparrow rose to fame,
getting French, and the Worlds acclaim.

Pragmatism, how to survive.
Millions of years away this planet will die.
Physically, I want us to survive.
Drop dead spirit life is surrender.

Habitable planets is my search.
Not because its easy, because its hard.
Ambition, we must be ambitious.
The Religions went to sleep, they bore me.
