So long had lived dear Walter Breuning
I wonder how many times he must have blinked
Imagine a century for a seasoned cricketer
Or a 6 upon 6 for the best of bowler
But to live through three centuries
Through times of war and of peace
Heard childhood tales of the US Civil War
As an adult faced the deadly World Wars

3. American soldier having meal During World War 1 (1914 to1918) |
Is remarkable and an enduring feat
The changing landscapes his eyes did meet

| 6. Who else but Hitler |
Great Depression he lived through
Nazi period too he viewed
Could easily praise and criticize
To powerful Bush from Roosevelt wise
An autumn born and dead in spring
Had plenty to say before took wing
Embrace change, no matter the case
For good it is though slaps you in face
Eat no more than two meals per day
Is all that we need he did say
But help in abundance he did preach
To remain in shape he did teach
Nothing is better than work he said
And that's all he did until his death
Long Lived Walter Breuning!
