Writing The Blood Code

[Charles]

Dedicated to Lady A.

Much credit, to these seven letters is owed
A magical combination, that Sega fanboys crowed
Oh, how I love my blood code
ABA CAB B, you took my innocence away
I ignored the ratings that insisted I should be seventeen to play
Ryu, Vega, and Blanka could never rip out one another's cartilage
So, forever I relinquished this lesser cartridge
ABA CAB B you opened up a whole new world for me
You proved that red globs are more important than quality
Watch how I rip out thy spine and punch off your head
In your presence, I blush deeply red
You made games more important than work or school
If it weren't for you, life would be too cruel
ABA CAB B you are even better than sex
ABA CAB B, oh how you are superior to square, triangle, circle, or x
No one ever made the politicians more mad
You delivered fatalities my parents thought were bad
You always filled my fingers with such delight
You gave new meaning to the words "Round One: Fight!"
Now I apply you to all things in life
ABA CAB B, I carved your initials into my arm with a knife
You appease my conscience when I brutalize my wife
Now they insist I seek mental evaluation
Because I can't separate reality from Mortal Kombat Annihilation
So once again, thank you ABA CAB B, you've turned my life around
ABA CAB B, there is no code more renowned!

[font=Verdana][size=1]*laughs* Just gorgeous, Charlie. I love the way you managed to actually come up with something regarding ABA CAB B. I don't actually know what it does, lol, but I'm sure it's helpful.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=1]I really like the subtly irony and the humour that's very evident within the poem. And, of course, the rhythm was great -- almost song-like? And I really like the reference to the older and newer versions, heh. [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=1]Well done, Charlie ol' boy. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana][size=1][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana][size=1][And great job actually getting it the poem to work, lol!][/size][/font]

Now what would have been the icing on the cake is, if you had made the rhyme scheme of the poem itself ABA CAB B. [i]That[/i] would have been a very nice subtlety to illustrate the obsession with the Blood Code your poem talks about, hehe.

But otherwise, fun stuff. Loved how you poked fun at the outraged politicians/parents (Now I apply you to all things in life/ABA CAB B, I carved your initials into my arm with a knife/You appease my conscience when I brutalize my wife).

I was considering it, but it was a spur of the moment thing I wanted to get done to show people. Perhaps I'll write another one with the rhyme scheme. That would be awesome.

ABA CAB B? I've never heard of it, lol.

Aside from my not knowing the codeness, this poem was a real fun jab at the outraged politicians and the like thereof who would rather ban and restrict mere games rather than face the real issues.

Full of humor, great stuff.
