Tell me again
How you fooled the masses
Skipped school all year
And passed the classes

Relate the story
Where you tricked the town
To kill the king
And hand you the crown

I saw from the start
You were destined for glory
To turn dreams into life
To make legend of your story

You never lost hope
In the midst of trials
You took down your foes
And laughed all the while

You turned enemies to your cause
Brought power to your side
You bolstered your momentum
At the expense of your pride

But it turned out great
You became the champ
You played us right
Like you were at band camp

Now you're the people's hero
Their cream of the crop
Though things aren't easy
When you're alone at the top

Now you always look behind you
You're always checking back
You need to hire security
Since you're constantly under attack

So keep up your defenses
Never let down your guard
Have security patrols in your house
And fence in your yard

Now tell us the tale
Where you crushed the people
You ran all the papers
And silenced the steeple

There's always someone out there
Who has better ideas than you
Your days of power are limited
It's sad, but it's true
Made this up 'on a whim,' it just happened.

The secret to extended verses is to elude closure at every opportunity, until it is your last option. At least, I believe so.
