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 kindergardner 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!
