A Villanelle by James Madison

We couldn't find enough rhymes for Alexander Hamilton so using aleck instead.

John Laurens couldn't stop thinking about the aleck
It was just so amazing and brave
But he could never forget the malik

That morning, John Laurens was shocked by the balak
He had to calm himself with a nave
John Laurens couldn't stop thinking about the aleck

Later, John Laurens was spooked by a malak
He tried to focus on a cave
But he could never forget the malik

Elizabeth Schuyler tried to distract him with a dalek
Said it was time to start thinking about a pave
John Laurens couldn't stop thinking about the aleck

John Laurens decided to do something gallic
The aleck was becoming too concave
But he could never forget the malik

John Laurens nosedived like a smart lalique
His mind turned into a knave
John Laurens couldn't stop thinking about the aleck
But he could never forget the malik

Auto Praise for John Laurens's Torment - The Villanelle Of The Aleck

"With their strict rhyming structure, villanelles are hard, but the way James Madison plucks 'nave', 'cave', 'pave', 'concave', 'knave', out of the English language is simply sublime."- The Daily Tale"

I just don't feel John Laurens's love for the aleck."- Enid Kibbler

"The verse about Elizabeth Schuyler gave me chills!"- Zob Gloop
