Delete comment from: Boston 1775
Here's a contribution that came in from Committee of Correspondence on Facebook:
I’m no poet but here is a rhyme, done in very short time.
It was the wrong hill they sought
The orders were clear on which hill
Colonel Prescott just over-thought
This is why the list had a high kill.
The British knew exactly what to do
Up the hill they would march all
Their orders were just as clear too
But on the first try they did a stall
Again and again the redcoats did try
Patriots shot at the whites of their eyes
Cannons and shot rained from the sky
Finally they won, a Hazza they would cry
Warren was dead as with many on a list
Gage was the winner but at such a price
It was certain the Patriots could make a fist
The British decided not to do that twice.
