Sir Winston slept thrice
Tucked beneath foggy London
Others? With his charges
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A/N:
Per the Churchill War Rooms Museum (a great visit) despite having his rooms furnished within the bunkers, Churchill only slept there three times, and that was for operational reasons. Otherwise, like the King, he felt it his duty to sleep amongst the population and face the bombs as they did.
Any relation to news about administration officials being moved to military housing is, I can assure you, strictly conincedental.

Throne of the Beast
“Lock and load.” Knight One’s command echoed through his helmet, drowning out the helo’s thumping engines. Knight Two sat across from him, his mechanical gloves thumbing the safety on his oversized auto shotgun clad in etched black metal. Knight Four scoffed silently, his face obscured by the jet-black helmet. An uncivilized weapon for an uncivilized man. There are already enough of those in this godless world. Two always seemed unsettling, like a big frothing dog in a constant internal struggle of, “Should I bite or hump my master?” It was no wonder Callsign General loved Two, even if Callsign Archbishop barely tolerated him. One was the Archbishop's girl.

Guard Your Battery
Why are some people so attractive just by standing there? It’s not because they are "likable," but because they don’t need everyone to like them. I realized later that truly charismatic people allow themselves to be criticized, but they never criticize themselves. They never try to please the world; instead, the world stops to watch them.

So good & currently relevant, even if coincidentally, & poignant. I'd love to visit the Churchill War Rooms Museum someday.
Nail head hitter haiku
A leader not striving to the utmost to differentiate and remove themselves from the general population is a rare thing.
