Verse 1
Oh, you wanna talk shop, you gothed-out fop?

Go back to Hot Topic and shop for a top!

There's a melancholy alcoholic laughingstock,

In the King's house; now watch the Castle Rock!

Pouty little poet with an opiate affliction.

I'm a workaholic with a fiction addiction!

I'm making dedicated readers shivery and jittery,

Feel that Rage and Misery!

You better start Running Man. You're in deep poo, Poe!

I'm a mad dog, fangs Shining, Cujo!

Tommyknock you down till you can't Stand up.

You're as soft as Po, the Kung Fu Panda!

Racks on racks 'cause I pen fat stacks of frightening writing. Have you seen the pile?

I can even take a break from my routine style.

Crank out a Shawshank or a Green Mile!

Masque of the Red Death? Barely blood curdling.

Pit and the Pendulum? Not even unnerving.

Perving on your first cousin when she's thirteen years old? Now that's disturbing!

Verse 2
(Sigh) Speaking of bored, you're the worst!

Dropped out of school but you can't drop a verse!

I could have spent that time better.

In eight bars, I can write a whole best-seller!

I'm so prolific, this sickly goblin won't be bothering me, I'm on a clobbering spree!

And I'll be smacking you with any of the big thick books in my big dick bibliography!

See, I'm the author with the blood and gore lore galore that'll horrify a reader to the core!

Fame? Money? Talent? Success? You'll always have less! Never more!
