The rhyme of war

Would we remember

Liberty Bell, if it were not cracked

If they had melted it down

Made it whole, again?

Would we remember

Before someone blew a whistle

And kept score

That everyone was undefeated

Would we remember

Yankee Doodle, if he rode a horse

And not a pony and it did not rhyme

With macaroni?
