Okay guys! I was thinking it might be fun (what am I saying, might! Of course it will be fun, FC demands it!) to write some silly little poems dedicated to the Alpha Complex and Paranoia in general (not at all serious ones!) and have a competition! So, for the next 7 days, post your poems here (the length doesn't matter, even a couple of lines will be fine!) then, when the 7 days are up, I'll start a poll and people can vote for their favourite! Whaddya think? Well, I'll post one in a second! Oh, by the way, post as many as you want... the more the merrier! Good Luck!

Haiku - The Team Leader
Who just shot me then,
I know it was one of you,
Oh crap now I'm dead.

Haiku - The First Time Player
Yes I'm a mutant,
I think Communism's great,
Why have you shot me.
NB - Man, Haikus are hard! For those of you who didn't know, they are a Japanese style of poem that follows that format of 5 syllables followed by 7 syllables followed by 5 syllables! Give it a try!

Foolish Xai who says
That writing haikus is hard.
It is quite easy.
In fact, I know a
Thread on another board where
It's "Haikus Only"
Regardless, here is
My offering to this thread:
(It's rather awful)
The Docbot
Thank you for helping me!
I didn't need that arm
Or that spleen, really.
Commendation Point
Awarded to Xai for this
Thread on poetry.

Struggling to write
Without poetic clearance
My haiku end in too many syllables

That information
Is beyond your RED Clearance.
So I can't tell you.
Rumors that I have
Absolutely no idea
Are treason, you know.
--
Allandaros, you
Have been accused of miscount
In your "that arm" line.
Surely, however,
The traitor who dared say that
Is already dead.

There was a young clone from Alpha,
Who knew of Outdoorsy alfalfa,.
With a trusty red laser
We endesd his days....er,
Thus perished that young clone from Alpha.
There once was a dirty red commie,
Who thought worker's rule would be bonny,
He died from gunshot
Believe it or not
At the hand of a vulture called Ronnie. |

Those are not Haiku
They are non-traditional
Senryuu, instead.

Poor Semantics are
treason. Treason is punished

Have a nice day, now |

Poem - I'm a Troubleshooter?
Walking one day to the vat where I work,
I spotted a young clone calling FC a jerk,
I pulled out my laser and shot him real quick,
The only way of dealing with an utter [FOUL LANGUAGE NOT AVAILABLE AT YOUR CLEARANCE]
I continued to walk thinking this day would suck,
When over a tannoy I heard FC! What luck!
He asked that I report to room number three,
I couldn't believe it! He'd spoken to me!
I made my way to the room as fast as I could,
Inside was a clone wearing a white hood,
I realised I was looking at a real UV,
Wow! What a buzz! I love you FC!
The UV spoke: You did good killing him dead,
He gave a uniform, great FC! It was RED!
I looked all around, what honour! What pride!
Then what the tannoy said next made all my hope die,
"Citizen your new job will be really quite fun!
I'm sure you'll enjoy it more than most anyone,
Seeings as you are such a good little trooper,
Your new job is this, you're a TROUBLESHOOTER!

I think that's a good thing...

Limerick - O'Rilley the Troubleshooter
There once was a clone named O'Rilley
Who's skill with lasers was rated quite highly
One day he was shot!
Dead on the spot!
And hence was the end of O'Rilley
As it turns out,
It was all turned about
Coz that weren't O'Rilley
He's rated far too highly
I guess we shall never know why he contracted gout.
[The clone in question is John-O-RLY, a star of an action packed spy flick. He's reminiscent of James-B-OND, but he's way cooler. He has lots of cool gadgets and vehicles. Mmmhmmm.]
[I just made that guy up. If any JParanoia/Paranoia GMs wish to use John-O-RLY, go ahead, I could care less. Just add a little note in the credits saying I thought it up  .] |

Sigh. And it's 'whose', citizen. Incorrect grammar in Friend Computer's official Poetry Contest is treasonous. And don't give me any of this 'artistic licence' rubbish. There is no artistic licence in Alpha Complex.
Limerick
There was a bot from WAH Sector,
Whose arm was a 'TreasonDetector'.
It looked at a clone
And he started to groan
As he set off the metallic inspector.
Hmm. That wasn't very good. Give me a minutecycle...

Oh Happy clone
Oh Happy clone
Why are standing your own?
Oh Happy clone
Oh Happy Clone
Why are standing your own?
Did you not see the vapor gun?
That came along and killed the fun?
Oh Happy clone
Oh Happy clone
Why are standing your own?

GREEN glow of the screen;
Like unshielded reactor
I got shoved into.
Fluorescent light gleems
Off BLUE barrel painted RED;
Payback is a bitch.
We huddle for warmth
'Round the flaming autocar;
Another mission FUBAR.
I walk past INFRAREDs
On their way to eat Hot Fun;
Remember, and retch.
Warm air filled with the
Scent of my burning body;
I hate my teammates.
Slick capsule sliding
Down to my depressed insides;
I am so happy!
Warning klaxon is
Harsh to my ears; I die but
So will these bastards.
Trap works perfectly
His replacement on the way,
Already I plot.
