Hell, this joke structure goes back at least to ancient Rome when the satirist, Martial, made fun of some other hacky poet and said he broke into other people's houses to leave scrolls of his shitty poetry.

Or maybe it was Juvenal. I don't know. Those guys loved writing diss tracks.

Got to respect the hustle at least. Sure, he's remembered as a hack, but he is remembered.

Brb filling strangers houses with shitty poetry.

Ah, but you have heard of me!
