" Hamilton" is all the rage so I thought it was good timing
For me to step in and take over the rhyming.
I made a list of things you may not know
About Usnavi-Alexander. Let's get on with the show.
1. Wesleyan Grad
Mr.Miranda graduated from Wesleyan University.
Hmm...I wonder, was he in a fraternity?
This is where he met Bill Sherman and Tommy Kail.
Together, we have a power team that doesn’t fail.
While at the school he put on the first production of "In the Heights."
The school knows, like we know, this man is pretty bright.
2. "21 Chump Street"
Yes, you read that right: "21 Chump Street."
He wrote a 14-minute musical, and laid down a few beats.
The show can now be found on Youtube.
I promise it’s cooler than cool, just like an ice cube.
3. "Bring It On"
Lin-Manuel was the co-lyricist and co-composer
On "Bring It On: The Muscial." He breaks it down like a decomposer.
Through song, he teaches us to “Enjoy the Trip,”
With high-flying hits and double, triple flips.
4. "The Polar Bears"
I’m sure you have seen the Coca-Cola polar bears.
Now you can see them and hear Lin right from your chair.
Miranda voiced bear Jak in the 2012 short movie.
Lin does it all. He tackles every duty.
5. "Sesame Street"
Lin did some work with Big Bird and Snuffy,
Writing songs, making kids not huffy and puffy.
He is seen in the premiere of episode 40.
Last name Flapman. First name Freddy.
6. "How I Met Your Mother"
If you know anything about Miranda it’s that he can rhyme.
Even in "How I Met Your Mother" with stories for bedtime
Season nine, episode 11.
This man is a genius, sent right from heaven.
7. "Freestyle Love Supreme"
Improv rap is what’s going down, son
Not only Lin-Manuel, but also Chris Jackson.
But the shows have been postponed
Since "Hamilton" is in the zone.
8. "Legally Brown: The Musical"
With "In the Heights," we fell in love with Piragua Guy.
Well, in these videos a few other guys will step in and apply
Go on Youtube and look it up. You will laugh and have a lot of fun.
Broadway stars are in it like Norm Lewis and Matthew Morrison.
9. Wedding Flashmob
In 2010, Lin-Manuel got married
To Vanessa, down the aisle with flowers she carried.
He did a flashmob for her at the reception.
In was pretty amazing in my perception.
(It’s on YouTube!)
10. "Bigger"
Back in 2013, Lin strung another chord.
He and Kitt wrote the opening for the Tony Awards.
Starring Neil Patrick Harris and a hundred broadway performers,
The song won an Emmy Award, guess it had a lot of supporters.
If you want to know more, I attached his website.
Oh, and his Twitter. Follow him. He’s out-of-sight!
