I posted this one awhile back. I was inspired by a few poets here. It's my attempt at poetry slam. It's all in good fun. Enjoy:-) Alexis

So you call yourself a rhymer, you’re nothing but a social climber. I got better rhymes than you in my sleep. If you come my way accept your defeat. I will challenge any male or female. You're wearing the title belt now, but look at your opponents. Step up to me and I will knock you out, haven't you heard about me I got clout. I got verses and rhymes that will make your head spin, step in the ring with me, I know for a fact that I'll win. I ain't what you call no chump, you’ll fall on your rump. Listen up you brag to much, and I got the Midas touch. I’m the modern day Shakespeare, someone that you just fear. I pack a mean punch, I’ll send you out to lunch. Just call me Laila Ali “I be stinging” And zzzz’s is what you’ll be singing.

You succeeded in your goal, Alexis. Rap-type rhyme doesn't come easily to some of us, but you have a talent for it. Lets loose some anger too, doesn't it? Enjoyed!
