Recompence

A member of the cast
Of "Hamilton," addressing Pence,
Implored him to do right by all,
On both sides of the fence.

With knowledge of how he believes,
It made a lot of sense
Although, from some reactions,
Seems the Veep-elect was tense.

Advice to other bigwigs
In Trump's inner circle, hence -
When in New York, prepare yourselves
For cries of recompense.

P.S. The only bone here,
And of course I need to pick it,
Is how, to "Hamilton" was Pence
Allowed to snag a ticket!

Ilene, I feel pretty good about the future because I don't think that any President-elect has ever had so many prayers offered up. There has got to be a lot of power and half the nation praying! I loved your poem. 7 ; )
