We Lost By George Poem by Ima Ryma

King George the Third was branded by
Freedom seekers as a royal brute.
They felt he charged taxes too high,
So went on rebellious pursuit.
The Revolutionary War
Annoyed the King, but France and Spain
Irritated him much much more.
At last to relieve his stress pain,
He gave the colonists their way,
And blamed it all on bad luck fates.
'America is lost, ' he'd say,
Accepting the United States.

But lots of resentment George had.
From his mania, he went mad.
