Please forgive me:

This song might not be ''wanky'' enough, but I think it does the job (and I refuse to show myself attempting to sing this one):

*

Taking time to write about the bard,

Coming up with new lines isn’t hard.

He works like a dog, panting and tired.

He gets the job done; he leaves you inspired.

 

Chorus:

How could it be he?

How could he be so fine?

How could he take a break

When needs the next line?

 

We know all the vices.

We know about the devices

He uses to put it down on the page.

How often did he try to engage?

 

(Chorus)

 

Bridge:

You asked him to challenge your Vocal

So ready for this; so chill

You think that the song is over

Until…

 

Defoe has got the work done.

August started having fun.

Kendall wants to thank you again

For this one song for the greatest of men!

 

Outro:

How hot could one writer be?

How great can the page get?

How hot (Top Story)…

How hot (Top Story)…

How hot (Top Story)…

(repeat until fade out)
