The Two Georges Poem by Dennis Lange

The royal George was England's tyrant king,
A sea dividing him from his command.
But rebel George reigned there and closed the ring.

Into the Boston harbor, men did fling
The tainted tea taxed by the threat'ning hand
Of royal George, then England's tyrant king.

A rag-tag army rose from edict's sting.
And who would lead that ragged little band
But rebel George who later closed the ring.

Against that mob, the empire would then fling
A regimented force and navy grand
From royal George, then England's tyrant king.

Upon Cornwallis, fatal trap did spring.
The sea was lost, and to his strip of land
Came rebel George who round him closed the ring.

One squeezed a colony but could not cling.
One was the father of his fatherland.
The royal George was England's tyrant king.
The rebel George reigned when he closed the ring.
