Epic Rap Battles of History!
 Stephen King
 Versus
 Edgar Allan Poe
 Begin!
 Once upon a midnight dreary, as I spit this weak and weary
 I will choke this joker with a trochee till his cheeks are teary (ahh!)
 But y'all don't hear me, all should fear me
 I'll forever be better, you'll never be near me
 Your books are as eerie as Beverly Cleary!
 You're a faux Bram Stoker, so scram, the show's over
 Your flow's so-so, Poe's poems pwn posers! (oh snap)
 I wrote them locked in a cave, while I sobbed in a rage
 The Tell-Tale Heart beats soft in its grave, while this jerk just beats off on a page!
 Oh, you wanna talk shop, you gothed-out fop?
 Go back to Hot Topic and shop for a top
 There's a melancholy alcoholic laughingstock
 In the King's house, now watch the Castle Rock
 Pouty little poet with an opiate affliction
 I'm a workaholic with a fiction addiction
 I'm making dedicated readers shivery and jittery
 Feel that Rage and Misery
 You better start Running Man, you're in deep poo, Poe
 I'm a mad dog, fangs Shining, Cujo
 Tommyknock you down till you can't Stand up
 You're as soft as Po, the Kung Fu Panda
 Racks on racks cause I pen fat stacks of frightening writing, have you seen the pile?
 I can even take a break from my routine style
 Crank out a Shawshank or a Green Mile
 Masque of the Red Death? Barely blood curdling
 Pit and the Pendulum? Not even unnerving
 Perving on your first cousin when she's thirteen years old? Now that's disturbing!
 Stephen, you pretend to do it, I've been really living through it
 Misery and poverty and family woes
 I see through you like pantyhose, doing Chappelle and Simpsons cameos (ahh!)
 Even if you're gripping on a weapon then you better get to stepping if you're messing with the horror lord
 In a minute maybe I'mma hit him, cut him into itty bitty bits and I'mma stick him in the floorboards!
 (Sigh) Speaking of bored, you're the worst
 Dropped out of school but you can't drop a verse
 I could have spent that time better
 In eight bars, I can write a whole best-seller
 I'm so prolific, this sickly goblin won't be bothering me, I'm on a clobbering spree
 And I'll be smacking you with any of the big thick books in my big dick bibliography
 See, I'm the author with the blood and gore lore galore that'll horrify a reader to the core
 Fame? Money? Talent? Success? You'll always have less, nevermore!
 Who Won?
 Who's Next?
 You Decide
 Epic Rap Battles of History!
