Berry edit

[dukealien]

I know your type -                           On the attack -

so full of hype,                                your work is a hack.

you groan and gripe                      Cut you some slack?

that fruits aren't ripe.                     Lay off the crack!

Think you're a wizard?                  Drunk on a flagon,

Here take a lizard,                          you got me gaggin'

cut out the gizzard,                        on all of your braggin'.

conjure a blizzard.                         Summon a dragon!

Suddenly freezing?                        Suddenly bleeding?

Can't stop sneezing,                      It's just what you're needing.

coughing, and wheezing?            Temperature's heating,

Hands on neck, squeezing?         the creature is feeding!

'Cause I'm the monster!               'Cause you're the ghost

A friendly imposter                         deserving to roast.

pretending to sponsor                   It's my turn to boast:

your feelings, fostered.                  The host with the most!

But you're full of crap,                    I'm leading the flock!

deserving a slap.                            I'm breaking the lock!

You step in my trap;                        Oh, what a shock...

I tighten the strap.                          There's plenty in stock.

Here's the berry.                              Here's the berry.

It's very scary.                                 It's very scary

(Assuming this is not referencing a specific D&D or video game)

In basic critique, the parallel structure is interesting - two paths leading to the same conclusion.  Or the berry could be the prize for the incidents in the column. though column 1 doesn't seem to end in a win.

Are these variant flash-forwards from taking (consuming) the berry?  If so, the immediacy of rap-style rhyming adds drive and speed.

A few minor, mostly technical observations:  "flagon" and "crack" (implying the drug) are on odd juxtaposition in column 2.  They both refer to drugs (alcohol and crack) but unless they're calling a crack pipe "flagon" these days the eras seem a little out of joint.  But that could also be making the connection between substances of abuse then and now.

Lizards don't have gizzards, other than crocs and alligators.  If the wizard used a croc gizzard, no wonder he got a blizzard.  Or the spell may require something imaginary, like a lizzard gizzard.

The rhymes in the third quatrain of column 1 are loose compared to the rest.  This may be a good thing, since this is where the monster jumps up and traps someone (player?) - things do get loose when they're really scary.

A fun read, enjoyed it.  My only suggestion for edit would be to have a duplicated starting couplet to balance the closing couplet - unless the closing couplet is meant to make the rest a flash-forward.
