My Name is Paul...
Rap Slam Poetry (Em Starr's fault.)

Author's Note: This is Em Starr's fault, as evidenced in the comment section of a recent poem I published called Do You Ever? So all the blame should be delivered to her. Also, if you get a chance check out any one of her fantastic little horror stories, and there is a truly stunning poem among the selection too.

My name is Paul
You can call me
...
Paul
My rhymes are beastly, tough and rough
Like my back, sack and crack in the buff
I take down opponents like I'm The Greatest Ali
With surrealist imagery like Salvador Dali
I'm not a criminal, though I hustle quite a bit
I'm not a peddler, though I love a caffeine hit
I'm not a pugilist, though I fight with my wit
I'm not a gangster, though I don't give a ----
I'm the P to the a u l,
Haters would do real well,
To avoid stepping to me,
You see. Imma have yee
on your Mother Hubbard knees
with the kilt-faffing, caber toss type flow,
all you will know, I'm the realest fo' sho'.
Not brown enough
Not white enough
Weird off-white tan man
That's who I am,
damn
Pasta, macaroni, pizza, itsa me-a,
Here comes an off-kilter-style jolt
Outdated callback, Geocities, Alta Vista
Running out of rhymes, faster than Bolt
My name is Paul
You can call me
...
The greatest worst
of them all!
