Master Poet

TheMaster Poet (whose real name isSimon) is a character inPaper Mario. He is aToad who hangs out inClub 64 to be near his love, thePop Diva. The Pop Diva is completely unaware of the Master Poet's love and affection for her. When she loses her voice, the Master Poet is stricken with grief. He usually speaks sentences that rhyme.

The first timeMario visits him, the Master Poet says that he wants to write lyrics, but the last line is unfinished. If Mario visits him later, he will finish the last line and give theLyrics to Mario, asking him to find a composer to complement the Lyrics with music. With theMelody from aToad in the Desert, the Pop Diva is able to sing again.
