Happy
Tony Awards Day! Or is it Hamilton Day?! Either way I have been listening to my
Hamilton Musical cast recording for a few days now and was inspired to come up
with my own "rap" while swimming for the 1st time this year. I
thought it up quick (there is always more to add) and normally I wouldn’t post
a 1st draft but it is a special day so…
When
I was young I was all about Washington, Jefferson and Hamilton
Then
in 8th grade I met a new man
Four
Score and Seven Years later he came
Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg,
On
top of Little Round Top was a group of men, shooting rebels as they ran towards
them
In
the middle of a new (Southern) revolution there he stands as commander of the
20th Maine men.
Ran
out of ammunition when the yell came “Ready Bayonets”
What’s
His name?
Joshua
Lawrence Chamberlain!
A
professor from Bowdoin
Fighting
for the Union in another rebellion
Fought
for 4 years, Shot 6 times, once through his boot only slightly wounded
Returned
to Maine a hero
Became
a 4 term Governor of a state in a re-new nation
Unlike
Hamilton
Retired
and became an old man
