The Beginning of the "end:" Poet Destroyed! the Final Chapter ( a Monologue)
The Beginning of the "end:" Poet Destroyed! the Final Chapter ( a Monologue)
Ready for round one...subject, verb, noun...done.
First, you tried to run, so now let's have some fun!
I got the message at the "PUB," when you poured it in my cup.
Now, get a dose of reality. It's time to sober up!
Please don't get it twisted, or allow yourself to get dooped,
Because "I" can go to the "PUB," and "STILL" order up some "SOUP."
When you saw my words, you thought that they looked rather strange.
You wish that you had my range, but you can not adapt to change!
When you studied my style, you should have studied it well.
Though, you were still destined to fail, since your coffin had been nailed.
You have trouble admitting that my style is much greater.
This food for thought is catered, so please don't be a hater!
I am a literary nerd. I play with words you've never heard.
In a one-on-one battle, I "MIGHT" let you come in THIRD.
You won't know what to do, when I am through with you.
I'll treat this competition like the "Taming of the Shrew!"
When it comes to writing rhymes, I am the one who sets the pace.
Those ten acrostic sonnets put a "SMILE" upon your face.
Your chances of beating me keep getting thinner and thinner.
I love to play this game, because "it pays to be a winner!"
I am too strong for you...you can not win...no matter what.
Steel sharpens steel, but my skill will get you cut!
I speak, because THIS is the answer that I seek:
"Were YOU really strong, or was your competition really WEAK?"
YOU patronized "OTHER" poets saying "ALL IN GOOD FUN!"
But, when the tables were turned on you, you, too, just came "UNDONE."
So, now you cry and tell me that you no longer are my friend.
Well, each and everything that begins must also have an "END."
Yes! I have an EGO, and with that there's nothing wrong,
Because, when "I" get slammed "IN PUBLIC," "MY" ego still stays strong!
Remember! This is a test! This is only a TEST!
So, STOP ALL OF YOUR WHINNING and just COME BACK WITH YOUR BEST!
