Rapid Response
You think you’ve got rhyme but you’re blind
I’d go up against you any time
These here rhymes are so smooth
people think I’m a mime
Vanilla cool collected
I’m the definition of “sublime”
My words are complicated simple
yet they easily intertwine
Try looking at the sun
to escape my super shine
I burn metal to dust
with each and every line
You want a part of this?
Step up so you can see
what it means to be fine!
You think with me
these are blows we’re trading
I’m worried less I confess
as I watch you fading
Forget your pontificating
feel my words erasing
Verbs nouns making sounds
adjectives educating
The logic of me
goes beyond debating
Drink me down like vermouth
my words are satiating.
Things I’ve seen are mean
but still I keep my words clean
I’m not interested in creating a scene
Yet not one to bow down
to any King or Queen
Stronger than the tower of Pisa
see how far I can lean
Breaking the silence barrier
and everything in between
Watch how our worthy words careen
I’m old fast n furious but no has-been
Inside my mind I feel like a teen
Rhyme once or twice
or four times three
Whatever you’ve got
it’s no worry to me
You’re swinging on a rope of hope
tied to the wrong tree
If that’s all you’ve got
you might as well let it be
Even though you’re next to me
Who do you think they’ll see?
You think you sting like a Bee
But I pack a punch like Mohamed Ali
If you step back in the ring
we can make History
I couldn’t resist, I wrote this piece after reading Nick Trim’s “Hyper Active Rhymes II”. No disrespect intended, this is all in good fun.
