The Ballad of 1812

                                (Based on the War of 1812)

                                        ---By Connor Chen

                        Thousands of sailors kidnapped and dead

                     The British are nasty, the French are our friends

                     We trade with the French, the British attack

                     If we don’t wage war, we’ll meet our ends

                     The British hate us and we hate them

                     They arm the Natives, we cannot stand it

                     We fight at Tippecanoe at a great cost

                     We win the battle, and we kill the Prophet

                     We get mad at the British, and we take a stand

                     We march north, and York goes down

                     The British, enraged, attack D.C

                     The city is scorched, black and brown

                     British ships move in towards Baltimore, troops ready to fire

                     The bombardment of McHenry is devastating, lasting very long

                     Francis Scott Key watches his country prevail

                     Key writes a poem, which becomes the Nation’s song

                     The British think twice, the war is too costly

                     They want a treaty, the Treaty of Ghent

                     Madison heard, but it was too late

                     Jackson was clueless, to New Orleans he went

                     The British wanted the river,, and they invaded

                     Jackson defends with pirates and more

                     The British are caught, open and exposed

                     The British lose, which ends the war.
