Never the North

Try as they might

they never could

add the Canadian lands

to their claims,

in whichever wars

they tried,

and they tried,

and they tried!

and eventually

that's the reason

Benedict Arnold

went down in history

as a villain

and poor Dolley Madison

had to flee

the destruction

of the White House,

and if neither

is cost enough

for you?

Then I pity you,

sir.
