"The Mettle of Metal" (Entry 291)

'The Iron Lady' today laid to rest.
In time, it happens to all and the best.
The winners of the bronze, silver and gold.
The military honours of brass medal bold.
Those who are sneaky with mercurial skin.
Those who are Coppers, or Bankers working for 'tin'.
Those who live a precious platinum life,
those who are lead - of many, thought rife!
But each one of us, with rare mettle, all must go
to where we will rust, forever, as it is so.

Margaret Hilda Thatcher, Baroness Thatcher of Kesteven (1925 - 2013)
