The Midlife Crisis of Paul Revere: A New Poetic Take on a Classic Poetic Tale

"Listen my children and you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere..."Thus begins the original poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow about the remarkable midnight ride of Paul Revere on his mission to warn the people of Boston that the British were coming. This new poem, by Ari Levitt, picks the story up roughly thirty years later as Paul is looking back over his life and reminiscing about the glory of his youth. It's a clever fun-filled, fictitious accounting of what might have happened to poor Paul in the event that he had actually suffered a midlife crises. But don't worry, it all ends well, with much to learn, and replete with a wonderful take-home message. Enjoy the poem; Enjoy the story; Enjoy the humor; It's a terrific read
