The Patch Poem: Redux

The Patch Poem

Well I built this league, directly from scratch
The plans for an update its enjoyment did snatch.
"Only momentary," said I, mistaking to latch
Onto the idea it would be issued with dispatch.

Sure, they need to zap all the bugs that hatch
And the effort this time has clearly had no match.
But say, perhaps every darned problem in this batch
They've had about enough time already to catch?

Look, I got no call to act like some sasquatch
And appreciating OOTP is a no-brainer, natch'.
Yet I wonder if those folks could end their klatch
And just kindly release the third and final patch?

Anybody else read that with a . . . rap rhythm to it? Or is just the voices in my head?

I didn't think Yank, er... Deja B could summon his inner Eminem, but he did.

Déjà Bru · 10-15-2009, 09:54 PM

I knew it. I knew it! The patch is here! It was the poem that did it. Magic poem!

LOL I was reading it with an serious poetry reading voice, (to add the the humor), myself.

I realize now that I was chanting, chanting, chanting, and the Gods of OOTPB listened! I have become the High Priest of OOTPB!

Sounds like you've had a few Bru's Deja!

I wonder which aroma of incense the Gods prefer . . .

14 1/2 hours without a major complaint about the patch so far. We hit 24 hours and the batch gets lit up. The neighbors are going to be saying, "What's that smell?" and "I dunno, but it makes me feel more like a man!"

It is time. It is 24 hours since the patch was released and no major problems have been reported.

The incense is lit and the whistled theme from the Old Spice commercials echoes in my mind. I don the hat of horns and feathers and I wear the hair shirt, and grass skirt. I shake the rattle bat and wave the rod of shrunken baseballs. I begin to chant:

Not intentional, but interesting. Even better is the way it looks in your quote.

No my friend, the point was me being silly which I tend to be when I am happy. Today I am happy.
