There's another verse that goes like this, if I remember correctly:
"One can only wonder
At so absurd a blunder;
George the Third
Ought never have occurred"
Or reasonably close to that. Can't remember where I read it.
For a great read on the events leading to Lexington and Concord. try "Paul
Revere's Ride" by David Fischer.
I wonder if there would have been any difference if the charismatic Guy
Carleton was sent to the future US instead of Canada as opposed to the dour
Thomas Gage (whose American born wife may have slipped intelligence to the
colonists)?
Take care, Kevin
