Kyle kept bugging me for this Edwin Morgan entry that never was.
For Health and Safety, take a fifteen minute Limit Break once every hour
He had decided to be heroic and set out, Along with that other He, to save the queen Or was it the Princess? One of the two, From some monstrosity and retrieve, maybe, The mythical sword, and bragging rights So off he goes
He soon gets lost within a dingy cave, And is stuck! What does the manual say? He checks and finds some helpful hints, That help him through the rocky labyrinth, And beat up the wizard at the other end Onward he goes.
Another day, another team of goblins slain! He's levelled up! And the other He punches the air The chart pulls up, and he reviews what's there A point for Strength, and one for Agility An item drop, its a potion though And he sighs and groans, he's enough of those! Onward he goes.
And, as will nearly always happen, He and he came up against a dragon. The fight is hard, his hands are aching, And on top of it all, his stomach is rumbling! But he stays cool, the orders are given! And that other he beats the monster into ungodly submission Onward he- wait! (Progress Saved) Onward he goes.
A minute later, while selling an obsolete sabre, “Supper's ready” is called, and he abandons the quest For a minute or so, before, sauce-stained, His belly full and his mother huffing He returns to the keyboard, And boldly sets off again!

THEME: approval, of course.
COMMA USAGE: yeah, not so much.

It started like a heroin addiction; it just got too much, too fast, until I didn't know where I was anymore. Damn poetry.

What's the equivalent of methadone for punctuation?

Semi-Colons but I just use them to keep me going until I can get another hit of comma.

Saw this in a restaurant:
Every Giraffe Knows...
That smiling is infectious You catch it like the flu, Someone at Giraffe smiled at me And I started smiling too! I looked around the tables And someone saw me grin, And when he smiled I realised I'd passed it on to him! I've thought about my smile a lot And realised its worth, A single smile like mine or yours Could travel around the Earth! So if you see a smile begin Don't leave it undetected, Start an epidemic quick And get the world infected!
;D

I'm going to vaccinate this epidemic, and the smile that caused it, with many gallons of Napalm. You have been warned.

Sorry Stewart, but I positively encourage smiling. It's good for you. ;D
And besides, it's hard not to after reading such an excellent poem.
