TI/AP as "The Raven"

Legend
  • Once upon a Warsong dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
    Over many a quaint and curious volume of skillcapped lore,
    While I alt-tabbed, nearly dying, suddenly there came a tapping,
    As of some rogue gently stabbing, stabbing at my back some more.
    'Tis some skill-less noob,' I muttered, 'stabbing at my back some more -
    Only this, and nothing more.'

    Ah, distinctly I recall it was in the early Fall,
    And each separate dying horde had wrought its ghost upon the floor,
    Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow
    From my vids surcease of sorrow – sorrow for I play no more -
    For the rare and radiant AP of whom I miss but play no more -
    Nameless here for evermore.

    And the imbalance itself of each skill-patched elf
    Thrilled me – filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
    So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating
    'Tis some AP toon entreating that I play some more -
    Some old AP toon entreating that I play some more; -
    This it is, and nothing more,'

    Presently my toon grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
    'Bad,' said I, 'or Noobie, truly your submission I impore;
    But the fact is I was alt-tabbed, and so gently you came tapping,
    And so faintly you came stabbing, stabbing at my back some more,
    That I scarce was sure I heard you' – here I pet freeze to my fore; -
    Smeld there, and nothing more.

    Deep into that login peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
    Doubting, knowing blizzard has nerfed my precious toons before;
    But the nerf was indirect, and the login was correct
    And the only phrase there spoken was the whispered phrase, “Play More!”
    This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the phrase, “Play More!”
    Merely this and nothing more.

    Damnit, I was in the process of doing this same exact poem; except, I was planning on doing the WHOLE thing. Nonetheless, good job.
