Hi all! Since my blog is about the Nintendo Wii, I figure I'll share the poem my dad wrote about my first experience trying to get a Wii. But first, some background info.
When: 5:30 A.M. (on a Sunday, no less)
Where: Wal-Mart in Watertown
Why: To get a Wii!!!! (first attempt)
How many Wiis: 17
How many people got them: 17
Number wii were in line: 19 (extreme sadness)
Anyway, here is the poem- "Ode to a Wii" by Rex Munyon
Wii set our alarms, early to rise,
Wii could barely sleep, at 4 opened our eyes,
But forced ourselves back to sleep
Surely til 6 the Wii would keep.
Wii were headed out to Wal-Mart,
A Wii apiece wii wanted in our cart.
Seventeen Wii wii knew were in the store
Fifteen other buyers, wii hoped there were no more.
Alas the pain, the agony, the bitter despair,
Seventeen buyers were already there.
Wii should have got up at 4
And headed to the store
And wii might have gotten there before
The Wii were no more.
The End.
The moral of the story is, "You may not have a Wii, but you can always go to McDonalds for breakfast." Some lesson. (and yes, if you are wondering, I do have a Wii now-but that's another story.)

ReplyDeleteVery creative poem. I enjoyed reading it!!
ReplyDeleteWaited in line since noon Saturday,
ReplyDeleteThe price of a Wii I was willing to pay.
Place in line, number three,
Third one there to own a Wii.
...I don't feel like making up any more.
I also waited at Watertown's Walmart, and I think there were 17 people by 2-3am. It was cold and rainy, so wii made a bit of a tent, got a space heater, and watched videos on my computer. Monty Python, Happy Tree Friends, and some other stuff. I didn't know you guys at the time, but...
I guess I remember seeing you there,
Faces of pain, agony, and bitter despair.
That's sad. That was a fun poem though. What did you get at McDonalds?
