As my life went from bad to worse,

Their survival skills are underrated

Vlad's drooling for space to acquire
His lust to expand

He never had any fun it can’t be denied.
His life was all glum
Of joy he had none.
Since he never lived, he still hasn’t died.

the town with fast, white, lightening. 
Their weatherman was wrong
the “clear skies” were gone.

that people are like you
and take them to places

From Rocket To Little Town

There once was a knight from Rocket town
Who lured and let his amour men down
But on a night not too young
Nemesis caught up with Doung 
When his archers incursed Little town.
