Great events often make great men

For Exhibit A, just see Rudy

Pre-9/11, kicked out by his wife

And living with friends who were fruity

But Giuliani never lost the faith

Kept alive his dreams and his hunger

Then when national tragedy suddenly struck

Morphed into Churchill from Felix Unger

But was Rudy’s “leadership” merely hype and myth?

Was he really a sainted cleric?

Faulty radios, sick workers are just the tip

And a “mobbed-up” corrupt Bernie Kerik.
