Paul Revere
As for Paul Revere’s famous midnight ride,
ignore what they taught you in grammar school.
No such ride ever took place. They lied.
The truth is the famous patriot was no fool.
Rather, and like any other red-blooded colonist,
he spent the night with his wife in passionate bliss
and was far keener on sewing his oats
than riding to warn others of British Redcoats.
