Battle Royale

I play Call of Duty: Mobile. This poem is about my friends and
I playing Battle Royale.

UI: Welcome to Battle Royale!
      The match is about to start!..... 
      Time for the mission!
      Get ready!

Playing Battle Royal with my friends...
The match has begun and we’re just dropping in
Run like a madman and pick up a gun
I gotta keep runnin’ cause I’m not done.
Run! Run! Run! Gotta find me a vest
So the enemy can’t ventilate my chest
We’ve all loaded up and we’ve killed us a few
Now the zone’s closing in -- it’s a dangerous brew
We’ve got a really long way to run
So let’s take the whirly birdy for fun

Flying choppers to and fro
Airdrops come and airdrops go

LORDHUMONGOUS, in his omnipotent way,
Runs to the gunfire and into the fray
Hardtime_ closes in on a different line
To outflank the enemy in record time
Whatever the enemy throws at them, they take it all in stride
These boys know how to lay waste to the enemies pride

Running and jumping and sliding we do
Riding and killing and slaying til thru

DemonicLime and I like to have Tank Time-
He drives the tank and I man the gun
He likes to run them over for his fun!
He gets annoyed when I kill them first
But there will be plenty to quench his thirst

We rave and we raid and we rip and we rend
The squad is intact and we’re nearing the end

There’s one last sucker waiting to die
Then KristineTheMean cries, “Ooo I gotta guy!”
Gunfire erupts and the UI replies,...
We have a winner!

That’s right! We won! We kicked ass, indeed!
The party’s still rockin’ and it’s a quarter til three
Now that we’ve won, we can each take our throne
Cause we left the opposition as charred and bloodied bones!!

There Once Was

There once was a dog from Nantucket
He lived with my neighbor Jim Puckett
He’d bark all night long
From sunset til dawn
So I loaded my gun and I shot it

Pew Pew Pew

Pew! Pew! Pew!
With my little Chicom
Don’t you know that she’s the bomb!
Got my level 2 vest and my little Chicom
Oh Baby! The fight is on!
The enemy is all around
But my little Chicom didn’t let me down
We took a beating
But she kept on repeating
Pew! Pew! Pew!
Pew! Pew! Pew!
Pew! Pew! Pew!
We put two down and a third ran away
Just so he could fight another day
But now my little Chicom, 
You must know,
It seems it’s time to go.
I’ve got a very long way to run
And I just found me a bigger gun!

Dark of the Night

In the dark of the night
Staring at the ceiling
My heart is torn apart
I hate this feeling
In the dark of the night
I hate this feeling
Is your heart torn apart?
How are you feeling?

Days of Past

Days of past, days of lore
Days we spent waging war
Battles won and battles lost
On to glory some have crossed
The heat, the rain, the cold, the pain
The constant pounding in my brain
I don’t know if I’ll make it home
Where as a boy I used to roam
Mother Mary, voice of grace
Mercy given, none too haste

Pandemic Day

The sun is shining
The sky is blue
The forest is turning green
The birds are singing
And building their nests
It’s a great sight to see

The trees are blossoming
The flowers are blooming
There’s fresh mown grass in the air
The squirrels are running all around
Up and down the trees
Chasing each other in pairs

We’ve opened up the windows
And our cats are in the sill
Watching the critters at play
Except for the pollen making me sneeze
It’s going to be....
A beautiful pandemic day!
