The Room Where It Happened
I peeked in the room where FDR
And Churchill made a deal –
The chairs and table where they sat
Made history so real.
I stood in the room where JFK
And Eleanor did meet.
Discussions there allowed him
To successfully compete.
Lin-Manual Miranda,
In his most successful play,
Described what I experienced
In Hyde Park yesterday.
It’s special being in the room
Where history occurred
But as to what went down there,
We have only someone’s word.
