The Sunday Poem: The Richard Bartle Limericks
I got this missive from Bartle
With qualms that my poetic art’ll
Diminish the blog —
Perhaps make it bog —
Take it over in whole or in partle.
Yet Bartle composes light verse!
Can Richard’s light verses be worse
Than lofty poetics
and free versing word tricks
In causing a poor blog to burst?
Nay, say I! And so, Bartle,
I pray you put up with my fartles.
Discounting the verse
Will error far worse
Than putting the horse before cart’ll.
Or something like that.
OK, so Richard actually just teased me about it very slightly. But I had to defend my honor!
And much like rap music before them, thus began the fabled Gaming Poet Wars of 2006. 😉
West Coast represent!
Now, if Damion or Lum posted poems,
Then that would definitely show ’em:
Convert all blogs MMO!
Step on Richard’s toes!
By pentametric game posts you’ll know ’em!
I rest my case.
Richard
West Coast represent!
West Side of the Atlantic, anyways… =P
