The boastful poet

I heard I heard about the Poetry Corner 

And thought it was a no-brainer  

The people who wrote there were no stunners 

And they haven't met the real master. 

 

Here I come the poetic mad-hatter  

An out-of-his-mind eastern gunslinger  

I shoot my rhymes like a velvet revolver  

I rapped so fast they couldn't measure it on the meter  

I even earned a job interview with Fort Minor. 

 

Here I come again the smooth serpent 

The slithery one in the animal kingdom 

I deliver my lines with such venom 

My opponents beg and beg me to free them 

And all they ask for is poetic freedom. 

 

People don't know about my hunger or thirst  

Not to be second but to be first  

To be listened not just to be heard. 

But now that I've reached the fifth verse 

I found myself getting worse and worse 

Was it black magic and I'm getting cursed?  

I just couldn't find the right kind of words 

To inflict on my opponents a world of hurt.

 

I move my pen aimlessly around the paper 

I just can't string a few words together 

I guess it's time for me to falter 

I'm getting washed away farther and farther 

I know, I know I'm a real goner...
