More Homages to Hamilton!
Here are my latest in my "homages to Hamilton", which I am tweeting one
couplet at a time. (These are rough approximations of the rhythm of the
verses to "My Shot".)
Young Lafayette had dinner with the Brit King’s Bro
Who told him the Americans were “good to go”.
When Lafayette learned of our fight for liberty
A flame was set alight inside the young marquis.
Forbidden by the King as well as family
To risk his life and fortune quite so recklessly.
They sent him off to England just to change his mind
He met King George and Clinton and was wined and dined.
But Our Marquis, undaunted, and his mind unchanged
Returned to France and bought a boat as pre-arranged.
And when the King proclaimed him subject to arrest
He sneaked aboard his boat and headed to the west.
