US INDEPENDENCE ~ AN ACROSTIC SONNET

 

 

U NITED STATES OF AMERICA

S TOP WORK ON 4 JULY AND PARTY !

 

I  NDEPENDENCE  ~  From who or what ?

N OBODY  expected that You could   

D EFEAT  the mighty  BRITISH  Army 

E XCEPT  George Washington and all his 

P ATRIOTS  who rebelled against the

E NGLISH  and our Mad King George The Third 

N OBODY  wanted TEA to be TAXED

D ARE I SAY ?  Most Presidents are MAD !  

E ACH  chest of tea ~ poured in Boston Bay

N OBODY  expected that and all Tea .......

C OMPANIES and the KING went wild ~ The

E NGLISH  defeated ~ INDEPENDENCE !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ I know it was much more complex than that !

4 JULY 1776 (241 YEARS AGO) is what you are celebrating ~ Love BRIAN

 

Because I was in America on 911 (2001) with my parents ~ we were made

Honorary Americans ~ because we shared your ANGST and AGONY.  I was

disappointed that there were no INDEPENDENCE DAY Poems yesterday ~ so

I thought I had better post one today ~ comments welcome !  Because we

are a \"Nation of Tea Drinkers\"  we always see the \"Boston Tea Party\" as a 

factor in the American Revolution !  Nobody BRITISH throws TEA in the SEA !
