Chapter 1 - Untitled

I will tell you all

A story here

I will tell you the story

Of Paul Revere



When I got the news

Of a terrible battle

I jumped on my horse

And headed for town



I set on out to see

A good, old friend

To ask him for some help

Once again



He said yes

In aid of my quest

I told him to go

To the tower in the west



He asked what to do

Then he listened to me

“Light one light by land,

Two lights by sea.”



The British would come

By land or by sea

To finish the Revolution

To end our struggle to be free



I crossed the river

In a boat with my horse

To await the signal

To warn towns around



My friend lit one lamp

And I started to rise

Then two lamps he lit

This took me by surprise



I galloped away

In the dark of the night

To warn sleeping people

So they don't wake to the fight





I galloped through town

Shouting out loudly

“The British are coming

Not by land but by sea.”



I galloped on my horse

Spreading the word

Pondering if others

Have already heard



I galloped down the road

And stopped at a wall

I thought I heard someone

So I started to call,



“My named is Paul Revere

Please let me go past

I need to warn everyone

The British are coming fast.”



Then I saw someone's head

Then he dropped down a bag

I opened it up

And saw the British flag



I dropped open my jaw

I was frozen with shock

Then I suddenly turned my horse

With the speed of a hawk



The British started to fire

Scaring my horse

It tossed me off

And I fell with great force



I started to rise

When I heard a horse neigh

American soldiers came

To take me away
