A poem for DayZ

[IrishHugo 75]

Back in the depths of 2012,

Rocket released a mod.

The mod had zombies and was an instant success,

And rocket was declared a god.

The mod had everything you could want,

Survival, a challenge, some pvp.

The mod went from strength to strength,

Everyone knew about DayZ.

Then rocket had a great idea,

"Let's make it a standalone game!"

Everyone rejoiced at this fantastic idea,

And thousands cheered his name.

Originally Christmas 2012

Was the anointed date.

But Christmas came and Christmas went,

And so began the hate.

"Where is the game?" Screamed the mob,

At rocket and his team.

"What do you want," rocket replied,

"A rushed job or something fit for steam?"

But hate had clouded the mobs heads,

They weren't in their right minds,

"This game will never ever come out!"

And a new game they did find.

While this raged the mod that

Started it all was still going strong.

But a new disease was taking hold,

One that still hasn't gone.

Players from all over were coming,

And many lacked any finesse.

They were interested only in shooting,

And so began Kay Oh Es.

Many said that dayz was dying,

It was turning into cod,

And so many turned back to the savior,

Rocket, the one they called God

"Making a game is a hard thing to do!"

He cried while beating his chest.

Then he said "trololol YOLO swag"

And went off to climb mt Everest

And so interest gradually faded,

In the standalone game,

A loyal few waited for more to go on,

Moths to rockets flame.

The summer of 2013 was a hard one,

And many were driven mad

By the amount of times a release date was given

But there was no game to be had

And so rocket finally said "That's it!

It'll be out when it's out!"

The final few who were still hanging on

Went off with a whine and a shout

And so autumn came and leaves began to fall,

And a loyal few remained.

A flicker of hope had been reignited,

The steam database had changed.

Speculation was wild, rumors rampant,

A fake picture or six appeared.

Rocket, as ever, remained mysterious

Merely uttering "it is near"

And so the forums are on tenderhooks,

Waiting for the anointed game.

The funny thing? Rocket stopped working months ago,

Took all the money and now lives in Spain.

That took a while to write, sorry for any mistakes, I'm on the iPad. Hope you guys enjoy it.
