Written Rap Battles of Literature: Black Beauty vs Silver Blaze

 BLACK BEAUTY

In this contest of horses, I’m the father-fucking best

I’m better than Bucephalus! You, you have no zest

I appeared in a novel, a worldwide bestseller

You only appeared in a short story, you sly old fella

You freaked out and murdered your handler

Almost lost the race: I’ll call you Adam Sandler

Sherlock Holmes could see your guilt a mile away

Let’s just say you didn’t win the day.

SILVER BLAZE

Think I intended to murder the human? Bitch, please

You’re the worst thing to happen to a horse since fleas

You didn’t exactly have a life that was better

From Squire to Cab-horse, you found yourself fettered.

I'm sure your character can't possibly persist

Without my help, Haddon's Incident wouldn't exist.

BLACK BEAUTY

Joey was leagues better than you, so quit bluffing!

I'm the hero of my novel, you're just a McGuffin!

I saved a rider of mine from a flooded bridge.

You didn't even hide your crimes just a smidge!

I made people treat horses better, and stop whipping 'em

Your legacy involved attacking stable-boys and tripping 'em

SILVER BLAZE

Dear old Bucy was afraid of his own shadow

To compare yourself to him is rather callow

Bree, Fledge, Artax are better examples than you

Of characterisation and the things humans spew

Your girlfriend died, but your war takes the cake

The Trojan Horse was better, and he was also fake! 

You're bland as vanilla, and no racing Thoroughbred

So the glue factory's the only place that you're head!

WHO WON?

WHO'S NEXT?

WE'LL SEE!
