"Freedom"

By Paula Ross

Now it was getting late one night.

I heard the cry of a fierce fight;

Colonists poured tea in the sea

Like grizzly bears with all their might.

Dumping that tea was the very key

For anyone could clearly see

The taxes were too high to pay

And now was not the time to flee.

This incident led to the way

Of a historic war that day

Where soldiers died for small and tall

On the fields and ships from the bay.

The French arrived hearing our call.

Soon the Redcoats had their harsh fall,

And freedom smiled upon us all,

And freedom smiled upon s all.
