Let's do this, baby.
Go ahead and ask around.
'Cause I'm a king, baby.
One of four in the town.

Girls are a dime a dozen,
They said I've kissed hundreds.
I find it funny, one; she was my cousin.
But I deny all claims,
'Cause it's a claim to fame.
I'm not looking for the A-list life,
But baby that's my game.

So you ask my name?
Just go and ask around.
It's coming, baby.
A moth draws to the flame.

The author's comments:
The White Stripes inspired me to do this. I had taken a break from writing but once I heard Seven Nation Army it inspired me to write this light-hearted and fun piece. I usually don't do comedy in this matter. Enjoy.

Faith is like learning to walk; you have to fall at first, but don&#039;t stay down. When in doubt, don&#039;t stop believing.

&quot;Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind.&quot;
