Hastings Beach Boathouses (circa 1822!)
Beach residents of a different ilk
The council once tried to milk
To fill their coffers, and fill their bag
In protest the residents, hoisted the American flag
The council now, were somewhat irate
As the beach was now, an American state
The beach party revolted, against their persecution
In 1822, began their American revolution
The floundered Galleons, were now upside down
Forming a part, of the America Ground
As the flag flew high, the banners' star spangle
It's shadow now cast, over the Trinity Triangle

in 1822, in Hastings uk, there was an uprising by the locals, who were living on the foreshore of Hastings beach rent free, in upturned hulls of ships etc, all rent free, until the local council tried to charge rent! there was a mini revolution, and they declared themselves independent, rose the stars, and stripes, hence that area today, is known as the America Ground :)
