Ice may be nice
And fire’s dandy
but guns in America

And yet more than handy
when enlightenment colonialists
insulted the King. Revolting

Busting the medieval bolts
that bound the Colonies as
cargo on His Majesty’s ship

Her Majesty’s whim
“Off with their heads!”
Threats needed to thrive

As tea can be dumped
overboard if intended as
taxes for distant overlords

So can we jolt the powers
that be about to lead us into 
the temptation of greatness

Next vote let’s send white 
smoke, not orange, up the
Congressional chimney of state
