Poetry

The French and the British had a great fightThe reason? The British tried to take a fort,

they hadno right

The Indians were there tooHow to beat the French? The British knew

Take a fort, cut off suppliesSo they took them by surpriseFound a cliff with little guardClimb and kill, it wasn't hard

The French awoke surrounded thenFor standing there, a bunch of British menThey fought, they failed, oh what a shame

To far outnumbered, it was pretty lameWith no supplies winning would be a giant

leap

And all because the French though a cliff was to steep

They knew they would lose, hope was gone

A treaty they signed, peace was onBritish got much of the French land

From most of their own settlements the French was banned

Only a few islands could they keepIf i was French i'd surely weep

The war was great and so was the impact

The French did lose and thats a factThis war created taxes still

The colonists were forced to pay aginst their will

Soon to come, the ConstitutionFor this war lead to the revolution

The French and the British Had a Great Fight by Yaikwhed

Poetry

Walking alongby the Erie Canalin the warmth ofthe afternoon Sun.

So many years nowwe've done thatbut you knowthat it's still fun.

Time after timewe've strolled hereand you'd think itwould grow stale.

But with my ladynext to methe bright colorswill never pale.

It's refractedand reflectedin every brilliant,vibrant hue.

So everythingthat should be oldlooks alive andsparkling new.

And as I lookinto your eyesI know our loveis like that too.

Even though it'sbeen a while nowI still long tobe with you.
