Sons of Liberty
Assembled in Boston,
Meeting in secret,
Under threat of betrayal
Even charges of treason,
Looming over their heads.
An act of defiance was their aim,
Dumping tea into Boston Harbor
And making a stand against tyranny.
Men will always remember the night
Samuel Adams led them to fight!


That was easy. Just Google his name, find an article and pick out bits and pieces to fill in each line. This is my quick poem. I am sure you can do one of your own.
