LabRat Report post Posted June 19, 2008 I've threatened to write this for years, finally I did Ode To Picky You came to me one day in a trade And told me how your old master played Your friendly smile, your winning laugh Kept me going when I needed a bath You held my hand while I dug for ore With your friend excy you found me lots more You made my fortune grow at a phenomemal rate More GC than I could use was on my plate One day as I mined I forgot to take care And you broke on me, no hope for repair I cried and I wept feeling my loss When suddenly a messge appeared from my boss "Check your inventory you may have a spare" The instructions I followed and I found you there Sparkly and gleaming, completely brand new My pickaxe was safe, I had a new you! No pick could ever replace you in my heart But alas as time goes on I need to start Your fellow pick is balanced very well When I hit the silver ore it rings like a bell So picky as I write these words thinking of you I know we'll see each other again, our love is true In the meantime I'll have fun with another It may be your sister, your cousin or even your mother!

Roja Report post Posted June 24, 2008 Hehe, that's a cute poem Sure it can be added to the official section, but I think it needs some punctuation? Mainly commas & periods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Acelon Report post Posted August 12, 2008 Here's the corrected version courtesy of Phildaburn Ode To Picky You came to me one day in a trade, And told me how your old master played. Your friendly smile, your winning laugh; Kept me going when I needed a bath. You held my hand while I dug for ore; With your friend, excy, you found me lots more. You made my fortune grow at a phenomemal rate; More GC than I could use was on my plate. One day as I mined, I forgot to take care, And you broke on me; no hope for repair. I cried and I wept feeling my loss, When suddenly a messge appeared from my boss. "Check your inventory, you may have a spare," The instructions I followed and I found you there. Sparkly and gleaming, completely brand new; My pickaxe was safe, I had a new you! No pick could ever replace you in my heart, But alas as time goes on I need to start. Your fellow pick is balanced very well, When I hit the silver ore it rings like a bell. So, Picky, as I write these words thinking of you, I know we'll see each other again, our love is true. In the meantime, I'll have fun with another, It may be your sister, your cousin or even your mother! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
