Sam the Rapper

26


Sam the rapper
Grew up in Berkeley
Grew up wanting
To be a star.

Rapping about life
The universe and everything
Playing the dozens with his friends
Mastery of the cosmic insult.

He becomes famous
Infamous in fact
For his use
Of the thesaurus.

Every day
He consulted
What he called
His oracle.

Adding witty lines
To his dope rhymes
And rhythmical beats
Becoming a media darling.

As he wrote
His satirical take
On the news
Of the day.

In the end
He became famous
As the thesaurus king
Of Berkeley, California.
