Numb. 1448 TAKE 2


If we start over with the Constitution,

the Bill of Rights, and 13 States,

might not our problems evaporate?

(Except, no doubt, the Confederate South,

so best we begin with just Northern states.)


Pity the pain 

in the Confederacy,

Russia, France, Mexico.

(If it isn't still Spain.)


If these, our neighbors,

dare disrespect us,

British America 

may deign to protect us.

One, two, three: sing

“God Save The King”.

(Charles, NOT Donald.       

Who needs that petty, bad penny Benedict Arnold?)
