Joel = rollsofjellyjoel = DJ Salad Bowl

Lyrics:

His name is John Steinbeck
he is a writer
when it comes to books
Steven King aint a fighter
he's better than Twilight
and Stephanie Myer
He won the Pulitzer Prize
what all authors desire

Now for my homie Steinbeck
let me lay it out for you
he was born in California 1902
his mom was a teacher
so he learned to love books
and during the great depression
they got a lot of looks

In 1939 he wrote The Grapes of Wrath
about tenant farmers that had to find a new path
had to gather their things
had to move away
had to go to California
to find a new place to stay

It showed a family's
will to survive
and the story was so moving
it touched peoples' lives
make them want to keep going
not give up and die
during the great depression
when poverty was high

In 1962
he won the Nobel Prize
it was for literature
it was a feast for the eyes
and that was that
all was good
until something tragic
happened up in his 'hood

On December 20th
1968
the great John Steinbeck
finally met his fate
he died of a heart attack
in New York City
causing all of America
to give him pity

But his legacy will live on
in his books ad such
even though Americans
don't remember him much
he's the S-T-E-I-N-B-E-C-K
this took a lot of effort
better give me an A!
