Sonnet for little Les

I do not own Newsies in any way.


It's cute to watch the young ones play

They play with little wooden swords

It's good to have fun after a long work day

'Heaven keep them safe Lord'

Les Jacobs wanted to be just like Jack

Despite his brother's warning

Jack escaping from jail was a well-known fact

He loved to get up early every morning

Les couldn't fight

Oscar Delancey proved this

For a little guy, Les had some bite

Learning to fight was at the top of his list

But his hero betrayed him

Now he has nothing to believe in
