Poetry for Bhaalspawn...

This is a thread for pointless BG related poetry. Please put your random poetic tat here... Or just enjoy the randomness of my own attempts!

Lets start...

Once there was man called Gorion... A limerick

Once there was man called Gorion,
Who was manly and brave as a Lion,
But one thing did scare him,
Troublesome Imoen,
So he left with the other young scion!

They met a young man who did mock,
Who went by the name of Sarevok,
Who demanded his ward,
And waved a big sword,
Made Gorion think 'what poppy cock!'

He did not trust his benevolence,
Did not treat his demand as relevant,
The greatest of mages,
The wisest of sages,
Ended up as of little irrelevance!

Surely he should have cast TimeStop!
Or cast Wish to end up on top!
Instead he was placid,
Casted Melf's arrow of acid,
And his head was neatly lopped off!

His ward was a little ungrateful,
His ward was not even helpful,
The right thing to do,
Was to bury and go,
But instead, looted his corpse disrespectful!

    A poem for @Moomintroll ...

    Moomintroll was a merry old soul,
    And a merry old soul was he;
    He called for his slippers, and he called for his cuppa
    And he called for his BG-EE.
    Every game he would take Neera,
    And very fine Neera, was she;
    Oh there's no wildsurge so rare, as can compare
    With Moomintroll and his Neera x3.

    It may not be my poetry but I think It would fit here nicely.

    A two second poem for @Tresset

    There was a young lobster named Tresset,
    Who liked to play a Mage with a Ferret,
    But who was the familiar,
    And who the magic wielder,
    Was it the Lobster or was it the Ferret?

    A little poem about an unappreciated hero.

    A lonely, sad and orphaned child,
    The offspring of a god,
    With strength and wit he was endowed,
    And a temper gentle and mild.

    The evil cultists snatched him up,
    And tried to take his head,
    But in strode the brave Harpers,
    Who saved the other kids instead.

    Sarevok, young Sarevok,
    Keep your spirits high,
    Sarevok, poor Sarevok,
    or else you'll surely die.

    His youth was snatched away from him,
    He walked the streets alone,
    Where once had stood a helpless child,
    A brave young man had grown.

    An urchin of the city streets,
    A bag of skin and bone,
    Until old Reiltar found him there,
    And raised him as his own.

    Sarevok, kind Sarevok,
    To your needs this man should tend,
    Sarevok, bright Sarevok,
    Are your troubles at an end?

    But Reiltar had a hardened soul,
    And could not abide deceit,
    His wife had been unfaithful,
    For this she paid the greatest toll.

    Reiltar held poor Sarevok,
    And made him watch the scene,
    The boy looked up to Reiltar's eyes,
    And saw a morbid sheen.

    Eventually he became aware,
    The truth about his blood,
    And with the help of Winski Perorate,
    Came knowledge like a flood.

    To stop the evil bhaalspawn,
    From ascending to the throne,
    He had to trust his righteousness,
    And conquer all alone.

    Sarevok, bold Sarevok,
    Rode forth to Candlekeep.
    Sarevok, brave Sarevok
    What sowings will you reap?

    "I've come here for thy ward," said he,
    And kindly offered peace.
    "Just let loose that Bhaalspawn's hand,
    And let him come with me."

    But Gorion was a cunning fiend,
    And paranoid to boot,
    He told his little ward to flee,
    Said "I'll vanquish this foul brute!"

    Taken by surprise,
    His party members slain,
    Sarevok rose up,
    So that they would not die in vain.

    He vanquished foul Gorion,
    But the taste was bittersweet,
    The young ward had escaped his grasp,
    and his party all deceased.

    High and low he searched,
    To find the little beast,
    But all his noble, valiant friends,
    Found nothing but defeat.

    From his mind he cast the little imp,
    Into shadows hoped he'd fade,
    But at every turn the little brat,
    Spoiled the plans he'd made.

    And in grand Baldur's Gate,
    He won the iron throne,
    He grew to love and feel respect,
    In this new life that he was shown.

    Sarevok, sweet Sarevok,
    Your troubles are not through,
    Sarevok, old Sarevok,
    The little whelp has come for you.

    So in the grand and sparkling hall,
    A party did commence,
    To recognize grand Sarevok,
    And pay him recompense.

    In stalked the evil demonbrood,
    His party at his side,
    So fled the great, kind Sarevok,
    Underneath the city cried.

    But the little swine was not content,
    And chased him to his lair.
    A fearsome battle underwent,
    That warmed the cavern air.

    Bold Sarevok had been killed,
    The young Bhaalspawn yelled aloud,
    Triumphant cry, the beast was glad,
    Of most heinous murder, he was proud.

    So ends the tale of Sarevok,
    The greatest soul the world has met,
    And to him and his fellows,
    Charname owes a heavy debt.

    Sarevok, great Sarevok,
    It's not your final fall.
    Sarevok, great Sarevok,
    You'll be back in hell and Throne of Bhaal.

    @jaysl659: I wouldn't say Sarevok was such a kind soul you make him out to be, but nice poem nevertheless.

    @jaysl659 I have been on a short vacation with limited connectivity...

    But I managed to read that before the transmitter died! Awesome.

    I always felt Saveoursock was a misunderstood character...

    *High voice*
    In the library, the mighty library, Gorion sleeps tonight.

    Now back to my original love sonnet for Jaheria...

    Do I compare thee to a winters day?
    For you are more frosty and frigid...

    @Anduin: I never thought Imoen was into foursomes... :p Anyway, nice to see a topic with a more light-hearted character around. Too bad your other topic had to go down the drain, though. I hope it dies out soon. Such discussions only lead to rehashing of arguments and trolling anyway. Or worse, insults, aggravation and flames. :/

    @Anduin: I have not heard that cover before. Very true to the original.

    @Anduin: I never thought Imoen was into foursomes...

    Wait... WHAT! @Kitteh_On_A_Cloud ... Errm... It was the fact that Imoen was in the library too... Errm... Not getting poked at from all angles by monks with wooden staves...

    Personally, I blame the literature educational establishment, that always focuses on the socks and sandals, but never on the ankle!
