Gamer’s Ballad – A Poem By Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on October 24, 2008

Video games and legerdemain

Mix like chex inside my brain.

Hours spent (okay, wasted)

With too much Mountain dew

And not enough working.

But I don’t care, cause my Paladin’s

Maxed his ranks and my barb

Can’t be flanked. Even that gobby

Can dish it out in need.

And I’ll blow you away

With some rocket spray

If you keep camping your ass

In the elevator shaft.

Not to mention how I’ll be happy

To tap a few more mana

And then combo away

While you cry and complain,

And ask me to explain

All of those dumb rules again.

I’ll toss you the book

And give a look

That says quite clear

Its all in here, and if you

Really wanted to win

You’d have already taken it in.

So give up and go home

There is no such thing as a friendly

Time. Losing is (I’m pretty sure) a crime.

Either that or shut up

And pass the chips.
