My 1000th Post Poem Thing - An Ode To Wurm

[Yldrania 1,430]

Well, it seems this is my 1000th post.... wow, how posts fly   To celebrate the occasion, let me tell you a story...

 

Once upon a time, seven long years ago

A friend dragged me to a game he wanted to show.

I saw the game's name and laughed a lot

At that wormy name it's got.

I spent a few days with Java at war

And getting this game felt quite like a chore.

However, the young silly me then found out

What dealing with Java was all about:

I uninstalled, reinstalled, tweaked here and there,

Until finally I managed to smell fresh Wurm air!

 

Oh dear, I just started, am already lost!

Well, what a nice game in which I was tossed!

I finally learned I had wood to gather,

The task was to light fires, rather.

Eventually I made it through 

Cutting, Climbing, then I knew:

This game was hell, it closed the chains,

I now had Wurmian blood in my veins!

 

I started with cooking, I made stew and meals

And started with hunting, head over heels.

Of course I died quickly and often at that,

But finally managed to slay a wild cat! 

The awe, the joy, the pride I felt 

Was really funny for just a pelt.

It was the beginning of a beautiful phase,

At that time I knew I'd keep my old Wurmian ways.

 

Well, time quickly passed and I lost my game,

Forgot where I was, even forgot my char's name!

But months went by and Wurm was recalled

And again with this game I was quickly enthralled.

I started alone and brought some friends

But the atmosphere there got quite quickly tense.

The curse of a female gamer is real,

Too many people at one's heel!

 

As time then went on and I quit once more

Warband and Guild Wars just felt like a chore.

I knew it was time to return yet again

I knew that Wurm called me, it pulled the chain.

Once again I came back, was active at last

PMK in the works, I was having a blast!

Was hired for PRA back then too,

Funny enough we didn't have a clue what to do.  

 

When things went so well, life struck me hard

With illness, with hardship I was bombard' 

And Wurm again suffered, I left with no word

Say bye to Yldrania's Wurm life, the third.

Well, just a year later things improved

For PRA once again I was approved.

I started my Wurm life again in December,

That awesome excitement I still remember!

 

I'm back now with projects larger than ever

And hope that this time I'll be able to Wurm forever.

I'm board mod now, and feel sort of smarter

With lessons learned from Retro and Firestarter.

The 1000th post seems like an anniversary

Let's hope it is precursory

For many happy Wurmian years

And few disappointments and shed tears.

 

I know it is you guys responsible though,

For making my Wurm life this awesome, so

I thank all of you for friendship and trade,

One thing is certain: You all have my blade! 

 

Thanks for an awesome couple of years, Wurmians

How in the world do you do that!? ...  English is not even your first language, is it?  Have you considered becoming the J.K. Rowling of children's books?
