He was just sneaking through the woods
To kill the indian chief
When he woke up
The French Indian war
Was long over
And he was no longer fighting
For the Whites rights to reside
In this new nation
But had proceeded onto
Not wanting to pay taxes
For stamps of all things
One just wrote a letter
And slipt it into a box
It always got delivered
In the old country
Not they want money for it
To be put on board a ship
How much room could one letter
Make on board
When there were thousands
going across the Atlantic
And then the tea prices
Were out of this world
So he join up for this patriot
Thing going on in America
Thought he might become a lord
Or something and then everything
Went wrong
They actually sent redcoats
From old England
And German Hessians
While all they had was a bunch
Of squirrel hunters
And old squaw men
Who took those indians
To men with them
Only to want thier hunting
Ground left alone
Well, he signed up he did
And got to become part
Of the elite groups
From his past experience
To the Life Guard
As it became known
He was protecting the new King
George Washington
No one knows where he came from
His family were well enough known
But the kid had spent time in the Bahamas
And some say he made it to Rome
As well, so educated
No one expected this guy
One had only heard about
To step off his horse
And still be standing
Head above everyone else
Six feet plus!
How were they supposed to protect
A giant!
He was nice enough to get along
But had his own rules
And when his wife showed up
Tiny under five feet
With her servants and sweets
She spent a miserable winter
Taking car of the needs
OF those in the lower ranks
Who were these people!
Anyways he could not handle it
Appearantly they are not going
to get anything but land when they are done
Serving this guy
As it was he wanted a bit more
His name was Hickey
He wanted to make a name for himself
Which he did do
His tactics should not have been caught
But on one of those nights
He thought he would sneak up
On a sleeping giant
Only to be tackeled
By his own men
They were not supposed to be up
But they had been fore warned
If he ever found the guy
All he was going to do was slit
His throat as he had done the chief
All those years ago
Thats all and then it would be over
This war was never going to be won
Not on this turf
And with those tough guys
He couldn't handle it
Going on and on'
It was going to be over
Then they could go back
To the way things were before
Instead he woke up this morning
Dreaming of being the hero
All those years ago.
It was short lived
George made sure of it
The hanging in front of the men
Was for them to know
There was no going back
They had entered a war with the king
They could not be his subjects again.
Even Franklin
Who had become a British
Overnight with his musings
Came under the eyes of the magistrate
He had to run for his life.
Jumping into the Thames
In order to get his self and skin
Out of the hands of the jailers
They put out an arrest warrant
For the American Ambassador
Who was so famous
The King even questioned
Not meeting with them
Perhaps he could have become
A President or Senator
But in his later year
He preferred lighter jobs
Sleeping on the benches
Of the Philadelphia halls
Then go out to gain the audience
Now he was a wanted man in
England and probably all of them
Had papers waiting to be served
He knew if he lost this war
His head would be on the block
There would be a general
Warrant issues and even those
Not know to be at the front
Would all be under arrest
And possibly hauled
Back to London for a public hanging.
He made sure this guy
The head of his guard
Got the first real hanging
He would go down in history
For attempting to murder him
George knew more than most
Being a younger unfavored son
He had been sent out of his family
Who had their own golden boy
Now he was defending a life
That most did not know
Was thier only one
There was no going back
To England or Germany
They had to fight and to the end.
Gibbs because the new head
Of the elite group protecting
The General of the American army
Later they would become
His body guard once he agreed
To become President of the new nation.
They say King George
Never got over loosing his colonies
But others did not mind
It was Howe and the others
Who had no idea to become
Captured when loosing
To the American General
Only to not be hung
Or quartered
But sent home as Arnold
Had on ships to the Thames
Jumping ship sounded just about right
What to do once they got back.
No one was going to be inviting them
To Christmas nor Ester
It was the end for the British
Who did have to go back
these people were willing
To live with the indians
And the new terrain
Without a king to protect them.
When the Bodyguard
Became the Secret Service
The files of all the men who had been
One of the best or closest
Were burned as a favor to them
Keeping those files of all those men
Whose families did not know
Unless a plaque was found
With their relatives
Name on it
As one family did
Frederick Braun
Changed his name to Brown
They say they were Rouens
Once fighting the great crusades
But he was from a family
Who had gotten caught
In the aftermath of he Charlemagne
Holy Roman empire
On the wrong side
Really they were French
Not German but he did his best
Served his new country
became one of the elite guard
So the plaque claimed
His descendants were in Pennslyvania
And most of them waned to be in Canada
French Quebec was their target
But this guy signs up to protect
The General who would become president
The first one and he carried
Alot of weight
Educated in the old style
Where crimes were for criminals
Not the first to cross a line
But not for the sake of dealing
Unkindly with others
Just as mot current guys
Have no way out of getting
All thier information
On the clock but take some home
What would George have done
If his files and boxes had been found?
Turned himself in I imagine
To arrest, convict and execute
The man who needs to know
How to deal with the too many people
Who come through his office
Is a wonder if the same convicts
Continue to be allowed t make phone calls
Much less deny others the right to faire trail
Or even a life with out wrong accusations.
Defamation of character and Malicious lying
Is all I have experienced
Maybe Trump will find a jury
Who know they will wake up
In the middle of the night
Dreaming of what America
Was prior to this horrible dead
It is not if he is guilty or not
Or if he was wrong or not
Or that his office is not above the law
It is that it will change everything!
