This is a poem from the second "Groovy Poetry Night" way back in 2003. I was just browsing through some and thought this was a nice read. (Also
other poetry from the event)
"My friends"
By Bashertarr (accompanied by Pinch)
So you know the value of CAS,
That finding GA is a godsend,
But what I wonder really,
Is how much you value a friend.
Cushions, Faithfuls,
GoP's and PoP's,
X-3's kick butt,
The Yalmaha rocks!
But what I really don't understand,
Is how,
To price,
A friend...
Let us imagine, if we may,
That suddenly, one merry day,
General shops start... to sell friends!
They'd come in all classes and breeds,
Atroxes, Opis, Agents, MP's!
Just one click away, tempting and sweet,
A new friend for you to meet.
Cushions, Faithfuls,
GoP's and PoP's,
X-3's kick butt,
The Yalmaha rocks!
But what I really don't understand,
Is how,
To price,
A friend...
How much would you pay for one?
A million? A billion? Some greater sum?
Would you go for the highest QL?
Or would you search around the world,
Shops and bazaars in all neigbourhoods,
Would you go through a personal hell...
To find the cheapest QL?
Cushions, Faithfuls,
GoP's and PoP's,
X-3's kick butt,
The Yalmaha rocks!
Caterwauls, Div's,
Hellspinners and furies,
Enhanced Queen Blades,
NCU's and flurries,
Take them all and sell them together,
To some rich guy, a real big spender,
And sadly you'll notice that, in your new wealth,
You still can't afford that new friend from the seller!!
Cushions, Faithfuls,
GoP's and PoP's,
X-3's kick butt,
The Yalmaha rocks!
But none of them are worth half as much
As that one special person that has earned your trust
That one soul that, you understand
You have the pleasure of calling your FRIEND!
Cushions, Faithfuls,
GoP's and PoP's,
X-3's kick butt,
The Yalmaha rocks!
But none of them are half as grand
As having someone you can call your FRIEND
That special one
That you call your friend!!
