George Washington
George Washington is founder of our nation
He was born in time so early in our country
His story starts as a young man with ambitions
He was handsome tall man with grate ideals
He loved chivalry, horses and swordsmanship
He came from a family of English ancestry
who lived in Virginia for many generations
His family was fine but not of riches and fortune
He lived time when the British ruled the land
His first task in his life that brought him fame
was arduous trip to deliver message to the French
To leave and evacuate the large Ohio territory
The French defiantly and stubbornly reused
Defeating George Washington in some battle
George Washington learned from mistakes
After many numerous battles of win and defeat
George Washington returned to Virginia
He owned huge estate in Mount Vernon
He through his wife owned many slaves
He was much occupied running this huge fortune
He watched in the mean time what is happening
Great resentment of the British was building
No taxation without presentation was battle cry
After the Boston massacre and calls for actions
It was all obvious military campaign was a must
George Washington was chosen to be the commander
of newly formed all volunteer Continental army
He showed great perseverance and leadership
When finally he won and the British rule ended
There was a new country called the United states
All different factions agreed he will be the president
