Paul Revere made his ride at midnight,

      warning colonists there'd soon be a fight.

           "The British are coming!" cried he.

                    "O say, can't you see?"

        and contiued riding til dawn's early light

    Ben Franklin's wife told him to go fly a kite.

         He said to her, "I think I just might!"

                    He tied a key to its tail

                     and let the thing sail;

                  it had an electrifying flight.
