Remember the Alamo
Whogave their all at the Alamo
Againstan overwhelming foe
Towin their freedom in Mexico.
Withodds stacked as many as twenty to one
Theoutcome foregone when the battle was done.
Andwhen the small fortress, at last overrun, with
Noprisoners taken, all is undone.
Thebeast, Santa Ana, no clemency lends
Ashis horrible hoard on the mission descends.
AndCrockett and Bowie and Travers and friends
Aredoomed from the start to their ill-fated end.
Heroesand villains and legends are made
Asleaders emerge to conduct the crusade.
Andkarma evokes a dear price to be paid
Whencannons erupt in intense fusillade.
Andwhile San Jacinto’s fate softens the blow
Inbringing an end to this imbroglio,
Whenheroes are needed to make our pride glow
Wewill always remember
TheAlamo.
