    He’s not pining, he’s passed on! This man is no more! He has ceased to be! He’s expired and gone to meet his maker! This is a late dictator! He’s a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace! If you hadn’t nailed him to the perch, he would be pushing up the daisies! His metabolic processes are now history! He’s off the twig! He’s kicked the bucket, he’s shuffled off the mortal coil, rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-dictator!
