A Les Miz Poem

BY CHRISTA

I will tell you the story of Les Mis

What a wonderful story that it is

It starts off with a man named Jean Valjean

To eat he steals bread even though it's wrong

Off to catch Jean Valjean is Javert

He is an inspector with very dark hair

There is a nice lady named Fantine

She's the poorest person that I seen

She's forced to give up her daughter Cosette

To the Thénardiers who she just met

Not knowing that they were mean

She earned money any way she seen

Jean Valjean became very rich

He had to obey Fantine's dying wish

With him he let little Cosette stay

After Fantine passed away

Cosette grew beautiful you see

And fell in love with Marius Pontmercy

Eponine fell in love with Marius too

But he loved Cosette what could she do

Marius called Cosette on the telephone

So Eponine was all on her own

There were no phones in Les Mis time

I only said that so it would rhyme

The people of France built a Barricade

Out of all sorts of stuff it was made

Out of chairs, wagons wheels, and other things

They did this to fight against the king

They stole every gun that they saw

Enjolras was in charge of it all

Javert they planned to kill him he'd be long gone

And to do this task was Jean Valjean

But Jean Valjean spared Javert's life

And this caused Javert a lot of strife

And so Javert wanted to die

He jumped in the river and said good-bye

After the Barricade was fought

Marius and Cosette tied the knot

Jean Valjean eventually died

This made Cosette and Marius cry

But he had lived his life and was very old

And Now the story of Les Mis is told
