Angeló Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I just entered a poem for Jhudora day .. I had to re-write it three times : first time I accidentally deleted the whole poem ... second time the power went out as I was typing the last word , literally !! but .. third time is a charm , or so they say :) I hope it gets at least held over ... friendly warning to not-so-friendly lurkers/guests : stealing this poem and submitting it as your own WILL get you frozen since I already submitted it under my name :) I'm only saying this because someone stole Saxen's caption competition entry two weeks ago and submitted it under a shell .. but Poems , BC and AG are different ... TNT are not dumb You arrive at the mysterious Bluff After a long climb, you huff and puff Oh Jhudora, you breathlessly say Give me my quest for the day She appears in a smoke of purple and green Who else but Jhudora, the queen of mean Get me my item, she cackles with a smug Or else i'll turn you into a grackle bug She might ask for a pizza or a slushie Or even that elusive Lord Kass plushie She snickers: Get me a bag of peanuts You only have fifteen minutes There's no time to haggle at the trading post You must get her the item at any cost With no chance for a discount You willingly empty your bank account As you hurry back before time is up Hoping you don't get another poisoned lollypop You push the door and much to your surprise Jhudora is smiling: come and claim your prize Forget about Illusen's quests I promise my rewards are the best Just before you pass out from exhaustion She hands you ... a useless caustic potion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren_x Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Just before you pass out from exhaustion She hands you ... a useless caustic potion angelo that's so good :D Very funny and great rhyme scheme.

Rebeka Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 There's no time to haggle at the trading post You must get her the item at any cost With no chance for a discount You willingly empty your bank account My favourite part. It's truly amazing! I really think you should and WILL win! Good luck :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
