Hamilton On the 4th
“Hamilton’s” the show to watch
On Independence Day.
If you’ve not seen it, find out if
You can concoct a way.
On Broadway, it was magical –
No one would disagree –
But what appealed to me the most
Was, oh, the poetry!
The acting, music, costumes, sets
Were all top-notch, indeed,
Yet all those rhyming lyrics must be
Brilliant to succeed.
And that they are! Rewatching, I
Remembered the advice –
Have by your side the written words,
On paper or device.
Or memorize them, like my son,
So you’ll appreciate
The fact that they are super-mega-
Ultra flat-out great!
July the 4th ‘s for barbecue
And fireworks and such.
Still, if you can, catch “Hamilton” –
You’ll like it oh, so much!
