Oh Boston Boston Poem by Sherif Monem

Boston, Boston, city of Boston
The largest city in New England
The capital city of Massachusetts
Neighboring New Hampshire and Vermont
Rhode Island and Connecticut
and the grand state of New York
Boston first settled by the Puritans
They came from mother country England
They stayed brief time in Holland
They were seeking religious freedom
They established very strict laws
They had church attendance compulsory
They ruled and established government
Things soon changed since that time
The Irish came in drove and large numbers
Their country was hit by potatoes famine
the Italians and other groups joined soon
The face of the city changed since then
The city became more tolerant and lovely
Boston became large rivaling New York city
Boston and Massachusetts became leaders
Among the original thirteen colonies
Boston was first to protest the British rule
They cried No Taxation without Representation
They expressed their anger of taxing tea
When three ships arrived from England carrying
Chests of tea cargo, there was quick response
Dump the tea shipment into the Boston harbor
Patriots dressing as red Indians came ahead
they threw the tea chests and did their deed
The news reached England and the king George
got alarmed and in hurry sent troops to punish
The British are coming The British are coming
This was the famous cry of brave Paul Revere
riding on a horse and alerting the patriots
There were battles at Concord and Lexington
and the famous battle of the Bunker Hill
What Britain realized after many casualties
They are up to big trouble and big uprising
They gave up and evacuated Boston in much hurry
George Washington led a struggle against Britain
He became the commander of the Continental army
Appointed in the year 1775 to fight great battles
for the thirteen North American colonies
In 1783 the American Revolutionary War ended
Britain agreed for United States independence.
This amazing city of Boston has lot off charm
It has many historic buildings and monuments
celebrating the revolutionary war of old time
There is Faneuil Hall and the Paul Revere House
The Old North Church built in the year 1723
The Quincy Market and the Boston Harbor
Boston now is very modern city and exciting
It is famous for its universities and colleges
It has great culture and wonderful museums
the Fine Arts, the Science and Natural History
Boston has many adorable attractive parks
the Boston Common and the Boston Public Garden
there is Cape Cod and Narragansett Park nearby
Not forget the ocean beaches and Charles river
The fourth of July celebration and the fireworks
at the banks of the river and Boston Pops music
