Ode to the Grepolis fanatic....

I lay in bed, I cannot sleep
For I have many cities to keep
I close my eyes but sleep eludes me
For I may have an inbound on my main city.

I can see the light of day creep across the sky
as I lay here wondering why
not another inbound, or attack to make
No wonder why I lie here awake

Tossing and turning here in my bed
totally restless, my eyes burning red
For I am hooked in Grepolis as you can see
And nobody has any pity for me.....

Basil

*No sleep was taken in the writing of this poem...

On Turtles...

Here we all have a player of sorts
who thinks he has worked out all the wroughts
not the kind of player who likes to attack
he usually ends up like a turtle on his back

He builds a lot but swordsmen he buys
Hoplites and chariots even a horse that flies
He builds a great city and sits on his bum
Waiting for all the attacks to come

To us we call this player a turtle
but he just is nothing for us to hurdle
because at the end of the day
we fear no attacks coming from his way.

We have this player called Sapphire Sorrows
whos good nature is called from players who borrows
all of Sapphire troops to make a conquest
leaving her with but a few troops left

Now while she helps with so many members
its hard to see why none of them remembers
that its because she sacrificed building and research
she is now left behind in the lurch.

Common people Sapphire is one of the best
she needs some resources, so forget the rest
we want to see her up where she belongs
We must compensate her to right these wrongs.

For the people serving overseas from the USA.

I fight for my country, the people and my flag
My home base, I am stationed at Fort Bragg
For I am an American, brave and true
I wave my flag, the red, white and blue.

I was in Iraq and now in Afghanistan
Our troops go to where the generals plan
we are bringing them our way of life,
but sometimes I miss my kids and wife

It's an honour to serve my country
to be a soldier, a patriot is the life for me
For me and my buddies its the soldiers way
To proudly serve the good old US of A.

BasilBarfly
PS, I am an Aussie, but we have troops there as well, so this is to all serving personnel overseas.

Fotr those of us living in small towns

People are a mystery to me
through their eyes I cannot see
how easy it is to whine and moan
threads of discontent that they have sown

It would appear that people with nothing better to do
like to make an official complaint against you
because these whinging whining people
do nothing other than make complaints that are feeble

I for one would like to know who
are the whinging people that complain about you
but no we cant have that because you would know
which townspeople that consistently blow.

Basil
Shh, someone might make a complaint.......

BasilBarfly you certainly amaze me,
And you poetry says that you are not lazy,
Your words and phrases are perfectly right,
though when it comes to Grepolis are you up for a fight?

Defence units such as the swordsmen,
or attacking units example the horsemen,
one way or another a war is a war,
and all our men will come home soar.

This is what makes Grepolis fun,
fighting your mates while you eat a bun,
Conquering land is the name of the game,
and that is what gives you all of the fame.

one way or another a war is a war,
and all our men will come home soar. (Our troops will let out a might roar.)

This is what makes Grepolis fun,
fighting your mates while you eat a bun, (get them on the run)
Conquering land is the name of the game, (cities)
and that is what gives you all of the fame.

Kudos to you. It was so similar to the way I write poems I had to read it twice. I wont fight for it with poems now, I relinquish my lead in poetry to you sir...

Hope you dont mind the improvements....
