Reminds me of the Wodehouse quote; "The unpleasant, acrid smell of burnt poetry". I wrote one, but it's 60 lines long, and does have a faint whiff of smoke. I'll read it when I'm sober, then see if it's worth posting

Woot! An entry!

After a conversation on vent Doof came up with this, or somehting along these lines;

There once was a girl named Volly,
And to cross her was sheer folly (or somehting like that)
With a nickname of Hem
She would beat the men
And once even with a brolly!

And I came up with these;

There once was a man named Doof,
who was a draeni with hoof
One spec was to tank,
the other to spank
and his dps was through the roof!

There once was a shammy called Ash,
who looked after the Mongoose stash.
Take them for skills,
or even for thrills,
but make sure you returnth the cash!

Oh and this is a little something Taq (pronounced Tark) came up with, and I added the final line. It went, and i only vaguely remember, something like this;

There once was a hunter named taq,
who was unhappy they blew up the park.
Although now theres a Keep
He'll continue to weep,
cos worzelboix turned into a shark.

there was a young hunter draenei
who just couldnt quite understand why
instance queues were so long
she thought "something's wrong"
so she sat and started to cry

"come now, don't be a recluse"
she looked up. the tag: <Fighting Mongoose>
"come on, join our crew"
"it's better for you"
she did, and now she can really let loose

Her ambition: the Titanic Ulduar
a goal that seemed away oh so far
to defeat Algalon
and that old god pawn
then relax with a pint in the bar

Selket, her favourite pet
at Level 12 is when they first met
through thick and thin
they would always win
Teamwork. that's what you get.

(you're right, it is easy once you get going. i could go on and on, but i think i'll leave the story there.)

Ok here goes my 2 penith......

Of Blood, Frost or Unholy
the Deathknight must choose royaly
to tank or spank
just dont kiss your ghouly

Time for a hunter haiku:

Hunters are awesome
We have spells such as feign death.
Really saves our skin.

There once was a young gnomic priest
Who thought he would fish up a feast
But his signature dish
"Char-grilled sickly fish"
Ended with spirits released.
------------------
This same lowly priest,name of Plink
Fell in love with a svelte pally twink
Though her lack of XP
was illusory
she explained with a sly little wink.

Seeing as all are going for WoW themed, I wouldn't be myself and swim in a different direction, so love themed it is!

The White Lady

In the midst of the forest lies the enchanting pool,
It’s flowing waters, clear and cool.
With white lilies coveted,
Oh how long it has been, since I last visited.

There lives the fairest of them all,
Her beauty, only fit for a royal hall.
With her red, brown hair,
She moves ever so elegantly and fair.

I remember her eyes’ look,
My heart, a few beats, it surely took.
Before I realised that such a smile,
I have not seen, for quite a while.

Only in dreams I can speak,
Those words for which I’m too weak.
Holding her hand, leaning on my knee,
“oh fairest lady of all are thee, will thy marry me?”

I wonder if she will ever know,
How much love I can show,
To have and to hold,
Why oh why, I never told.

Only WoW related one soz

There was a young girl from Vashj'ir,
who came over a little bit queer,
she felt Deathwing was back,
so opened her crack,
and everyone rolled on her gear.

Now these poems are 15 years old so give me a break

Journey

My life's led different paths,
Down a lonely track,
Always looking forward,
Fear keeps on pulling back.

I'm my only saviour,
The one to help me out,
I've never walked on water,
Truth fails to disguise doubt.

-----------------------------------------------

Secrets

You know the little monsters,
That hide beneath your bed,
They're slightly closer than you think,
They're lurking in your head.

--------------------------------------------------

Life

Snakes lying in the grass,
Chances coming up not too fast,
Take them when they come along,
Some mistakes are never wrong. (still my favourite line ever)

--------------------------------------------------

Money

Not too much,
Wont have anymore,
I'll only spend a little.

But wait there's a sale,
This thing I really need,
I'll only spend a little.

Where did it go?
I can't remember,
I only spent a little.

------------------------------------------------

Mine'll be a relationship on the rocks

Just one more mistake,
And your clothes are out the window.
She's just the girl next door,
Won't cut it anymore.
No more working late,
Or business trips away.
The curtain has now come down,
On your little play.
