The Ballad of Crud and Horgus v1.1

Before you can celebrate, the crowd begins to chant. "We're glad that Slimy Scott has been defeated but uh oh here comes Soft Linus."
Sure enough, stepping into the arena across from you is a young man you presume to be Soft Linus. He's wearing an argyle sweater and corduroy pants. He's holding a small journal. "I don't even know how to change a tire hahahaha." He says quietly.
The crowd goes wild, "He's not like other men because he listens to alternative rock and enjoys watching rom-coms!"
"I don't like fighting." Soft Linus admits, not making eye contact with you. "Instead, I'm going to defeat you with the power of my word. By that I mean poetry." He opens his journal and begins reading. "When... the stars shine bright. High in the sky... I cry... and I try... I try... to fly... but I cannot fly... I know not why... and yet I try... and I sigh... at least, I say to myself... at least I do not lie..." He closes his journal.
