Jamestown

The Queen came to commemorate
The Jamestown English settlement.
400 years passed since that date,
When England moved in permanent.
On a muddy riverside bog,
With not much good of anything,
The settlers built shelters of log,
And named it after the English king.
The native neighbors were not thrilled
To have these English right next door.
So lots of Englishmen were killed,
But they kept coming - more and more.

And so began a new world quest
Of English roots from east to west.
