ERBoH Bio
'Tis I, the writer of plays most famous.

Thine words, convoluted, olde and heinous.

Iambic pentameter, my meter and time

Ten syllables a line, each ending in rhyme.

Thou callest me "the bard," ye best English poet!

Hamlet, Romeo, Othello, all die, my pen doth show it.

Performed at The Globe, thine own home theater,

Inventing new words, like "eyeball" and "cater."

One hundr'd fifty-four poems, in sonnet style,

Each a love letter doth scholars compile.

Thirty-eight plays, thoust comedy and drama,

Hark, 'tis I, the English language's original momma!

Verse 1
Come bite my thumb! I hope you know the stakes.

I'll put a slug between your shoulder blades,

Then ask what light through yonder poser breaks?

I hath been iambic on that ass, ye bastard! My rhymes are classic.

Your crap is drafted by a kindergartner high on acid!

Ye hoebag. You're an old white Soulja Boy who has no swag,

And no gonads. Egads, it's so sad!

And to top it off, you're not a doctor.

I've never seen a softer author!

You crook, you. I bet you wrote the Twilight books, too!

Verse 2
I'm switching up my style like the Beatles with my pieces.

Each is such a wonder with a plethora of features.

You're pathetically predictable.

You think your new book might include a trisyllabic meter,

And some ghetto Muppet creatures.

The Bard is in the building.

It's a castle, I'm a boss!

I bet I'm Parliament.

I'm positive I'm killing it.

I'm iller than the plague.

I've never caught or cholera,

A baller baller,

On some cricket bowler business,

While you're sitting in the bleachers!
