SOG - A Poem

(I'll add the author's notes later.)

I stumbled 'pon a small, forgotten wood,

Where tales and legends roam the earth,

Where demons walk and flowers dream,

I meekly happened upon the scene.

Aghast! A bloodied wraith beckoned my way,

from the wond'rous land beyond the fray.

Lo, a crimson wren - spoketh to me,

From a branch upon the highest tree.

It said, "Halt! I can not let you through,

I must know first what is due,

For your safe passage through the kingdom of SOG."

"My name is.... Prawn," I said.

"I wish to pleasure our lord with song,

and written word and rhyme." The wren

nodded its head and thought for a while.

Whence a conclusion had been made,

The wren spoke softly, and simply it said:

"Very well, I'll let you pass, but beware,

The games the shallow people play,

I very much hope you enjoy your stay."

I wandered, aimless, through an empty fog,

Encroached, the forest disappeared,

And on glowing gates these words appeared:

'SomeOrdinaryGamers Wiki'.

With renewed intention, I started toward,

The unearthly kingdom of pen and sword,

The glowing gates opened wide with a lumbering shriek,

And to the eyes of the beguiled, I began to speak.

"I stumbled 'pon a small, forgotten wood,

Where tales and legends roam the earth,

Where demons walk and flowers dream,

I have stepped through the primordial seam,

To another land.

The land that is SomeOrdinaryGamers Wiki."
