An Ode to Video Game Rack Fighter
By: Bookshelf Q. Battler
Oh! Player of pixelized fantasies!
Circumventer of fictional globes brought to life by the greatest minds of Seattle.
Oh how overjoyed am I, that YOU, would fight in MY Bookshelf Battle.
Ye, life is more interesting to those who hold an interest in anything.
Even if it’s making your thumb sticks sing.
I met her in a story,
Read by a mere 3.5 people.
I haven’t even finished it.
It’s like a half built steeple.
Will we ever, ever meet the Great Guru?
The answer is something I wish I knew.
Excavator of X-Box, Purveyor of Playstation,
Racking up the experience points in her online nation.
Video games are her version of crack.
And like my magic shelf, things are happening on her rack.
Will she write a column about what she knows best?
Become this blog’s first female columnist.
Put an end to the dude fest.
Will she ever press pause?
Not even if the Yeti ripped my head off with his claws.
