The following two stanzas were conjured last night at around 2:30 am. Only that they were sung in my head in the style of a 1980s Run DMC rap tune — in terms of rhythm, lyricism, and speed of utterance. So I suggest you sing along while reading.
He’s a go-getter
From the get-go
Should have known better
Than Edgar Allan Poe
A real trend-setter *(transcender)
What a mofo
Unchained his fetters
Now he can flow
Unwrite these letters
Stack ’em in a row
*
You may feel shattered
But that’s your ego
It keeps getting better
Through the high and low
You count, you matter
Like stars you glow
You’re still a mad hatter
Behold and lo
The former and the latter
O’ Oh what a show.
— Skuncle O
