Thought I'd share a poem a friend recently showed me. Apparently they wrote this shortly after the release of "Violet is Blue". I thought it was pretty good, and wanted to share it.

Once upon a Monday weary, while I nursed a mind grown bleary,

My soul grown tired, thinking of the things that came before —

Still, I hoped some hopeful thought, that my doubts would be for naught,

That this would be the one I sought! Sought to my very core!—

“Tis some Ninja.” I muttered, “Not what I long for to my core,—

Only this and nothing more.”

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December;

“Why are you a member?” this question myself, I did implore—

Still eagerly I hoped and prayed;—steeled my heart to not be swayed,

And with trepidation, stayed — stayed in wait for something more—

“This is all I wish!” I pleaded; Heart hoping for but something more. —

Would this be it? Or just a bore.

And so with each ticking of the clock, adventurers did flock,

Towards the mountain, waiting, dreaming of the loot and lore.

Even so, as time drew ever near, I could not help but fear,

That the world within that glowing sphere, would be just another bore.

Surely again, that glowing sphere would be just another bore.

“This it is and nothing more.”

YET! To my shock and rapture, that world, my heart did capture!

And in my joy I felt a smile forming, like as in days of yore.

I felt my heart grow content, forgetting where my sorrows went

Washed away by joy’s advent, melting my heart’s frozen door,

What was it, you ask? That melted my heart’s frozen door?

Quoth the little Yeti, “Roar!”
