West Side Story

Since “West Side Story” hit the stage,
No show could quite compare.
Such music, lyrics, dances, plot
Are magical and rare.

The gorgeous tunes you can’t forget
Are Bernstein at his best
And Sondheim’s words would leave the world’s
Top poets most impressed.

The choreography delights
With every Robbins move
And Arthur Laurents told the tale;
Will Shakespeare would approve.

I saw the play again today;
It never lets me down,
Deserving every accolade
That’s earned it its renown.
