Poetry #1

There was an Admin named Buck
Who everyone wanted to chuck
After getting the sack
He kept coming back
His posts were a matter of luck

Buckなる管理者あり
誰もが彼を疎みたり
幾度クビとなりても
その度に戻り来たり
運任せの仕事なれば

Poetry #2

There once was a moron named John
Unable to keep his pants on
He found a young tart
Thought he was smart
His wife found out all, now he's gone.

Poetry #3

There was an admin named Chuck
his posts were a matter of luck
he didn't mind
as one of a kind
He was a really good schmuck.

Chuckなる管理者あり
運任せの仕事しけり
彼は稀有なる者にて
少しもその職悔いざりし
真の無能なれば

Poetry #4

It was nearly as bad as it sounded
By his mother he has been confounded
All he could do was gripe
He certainly could not type
From his computer the mod was grounded

Poetry #5

The dev sounded like a teacher
When he spoke of the amazing creature
Death to you in one hit, it will
Supposed to make you feel a chill
It's not a bug, it's a feature!

Poetry #6

One mod became quite a chore
His grave had a revolving door
Quick to attack
We put him back
Quoth the raven, nevermore.

Poetry #7

It's something you already knew
Certainly nothing you can do
Early or late
Ignore the date
A patch arrives when it's meant to

誰もが既に知りながら
誰もが手を出しかねることあり
遅かれ早かれ
日にかかわらず
パッチは来るときに来る

Poetry #8

While coding is not much fun
Often you feel under the gun
It's not a sin
To say with a grin
It'll be released when it's done.

コーディング楽しからざる時
スケジュール切迫したる時
いかに罪ならざらんや
笑うてかく告げることが
完成したらリリースします

Poetry #9

?
When asked why do we wait
You answer it's not that late
You may make think yourself clever
You'll get it before Duke Nukem Forever!

Poetry #10

There once was a knight from Ancaria
Who suffered from mild hysteria
he'd run from the fight
e'en with all his might
That poor little knight from Ancaria

アンカリアより来たる騎士あり
幾分恐慌に陥りて
戦から逃れんと
全力を以て来たるなり
哀れなアンカリアの騎士なり

Poetry #11

There once was a dragon of Ice
He was cool but not very nice
He's protected by Ice Giants
Ghosts, Goblins and things flying
And the lag there would make you think twice.

かの地にアイスドラゴンあり
賢けれども善からざる者なり
護衛にアイスジャイアント、
ゴースト、ゴブリン、数多の飛行mobを侍らしたり
ラグでプレイヤーを躊躇わしたるなり

Poetry #12

There once was player in hardcore
Who thought he was playing in softcore
Until, when he died
Could not play, though he tried,
And, alas, his poor toon, it was no more.

hardcoreでプレイしたる者あり
ノーマルモードと思い込みて
死して初めて気付きけり
幾度試すもやり直すこと能わず
哀れなるかな彼のキャラよ

Poetry #13

There once was a knight from mascarell
Who bathed in the town's only well
He'd bathe every night
After done with his fights
'tis why the water there doesn't taste swell.

マスカレルに騎士あり
街の唯一の泉にて
夜ごと沐浴す
その日の戦が終わるたび
水が不味いはそのためなり

Poetry #14

There once was a zombie from Mascarel
He saw a knight bathing in the town's well
He laughed at the sight
And whispered to the knight
Seems my toilet is your bathtub as well.

マスカレルにゾンビあり
街の泉にて沐浴する騎士を見る
ゾンビ大いに笑い
騎士に囁きて曰く
我がトイレが貴公の風呂ならんやと

Poetry #15

There once was a civilized orc
He ate with a knife and a fork
He drank from a cup
With his pinky pointing up
But his friends thought he was a dork.

都会化したオークあり
ナイフとフォークにて食し
飲まんと欲すればカップを用い
小指をぴんと立てて飲みたり
されど彼の友、そを田舎者と見るなり

Poetry #16

A gladiator once lost a bet
And had to wear the full xrystal's set
His chest was shaved bare
Flowers placed in his hair
Many offers of marriage did he get

グラディエイター賭に負け
Xrystalセットを着せらる　（※前作のウッドエルフ♀専用セット）
かの胸毛ことごとく剃り
髪には花々あしらいたり
求婚さるること数多なり

Poetry #17

There once was a mage with a staff
So tiny,it made us all laugh
He waved it one day
To scare monsters away
And ended up bitten in half

Poetry #18

There once was a knight with a pain
Who cried out 'oh no not again,
a dragon, 5 goblins
4 elves and an orc,
Have trampled all over my brain.'
