One if by Sea, Two if by Airport

Listen, my children, and you shall hear
of the president who couldn’t think very clear,
on the fourth of July, twenty-nineteen:
when rain malfunctioned his teleprompter machine

He stood at the mic, telling all in attendance
how the army manned the air
in our War of Independence
Cornwallis of Yorktown was filled with despair,
when he realized the airports were no longer theirs

Washington’s squadron was expertly trained
in weapons of war that refused to be restrained
by the century in which their invention occurred

Defeat was imminent, Cornwallis conferred
“But lose not your faith,” he yelled through the cheers,
“We’ll wait at Fort McHenry, for thirty more years!”

The president told of many brave acts
using, as usual, alternative facts
He ran the ramparts with rambled confusion
as he came to historically-interesting conclusions
