I did not write this, I found it on Reddit and thought it needed to be shared here. ------- Once upon a 2fort, wary, as I scoped Scouts, quick and speedy I shot many a quaint and worthless son of a Scouting whore, While I scoped, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping As of someone gently shooting, shooting at my sniper's floor. "Tis some eng'ner," I muttered, "shooting at my sniper floor- Only this, and nothing more." Ah, distinctly I remember, 'was nearing a round-ender, And each seperate dying member wrought its killicon 'pon my scores. Truthfully I wished the next round- to snipe poor Pyros on the ground To alleviate my sorrow-sorrow for lost intelligence For the scoots captured plenty, since Spamming them, forever more. And the scores, so high and mighty, of shot scouts, so fast and flighty Thrilled me - filled achivement bars never filled before; So that now, to still the FPS of my heart, I stood repeating "Tis some eng'ner sentry-spamming the entrance at my sniper door Some mad eng'ner camping the entrance of my sniper floor - That it is, and nothing more. Presently my shots went wider, panicking, I drew louder, "Oi," said I, "ya wanka, truly ya spammin' I abhor; But the fact is oi am campin', and so quickly you came spammin' And so oddly you are shootin', shootin' at my snoipah floor, That I can't return to base"-here I peeked over the floor- An empty map, and nothing more. Deep over 2fort peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing Doubting, thinking thoughts no sniper ever dreamed before; But the silence was unbroken, and the fortress gave no token, And the only words there spoken were my whispered words, "No more!", Corpse and gib, a water pool I set eyes on, and bridge'd o'er floor; Merely this, and nothing more. So, into my base venturing, all my spent ammo returning, Soon I heard again a shooting rather louder than before. "Wot," said I, "wot, the administraitah said the round'd finished; Let m'see then, what threat that is, and this mystery explore- Let m'jarate be filled a moment and this sentry gun explode- Tis a bug, and nothing more!" Open here I flung the shutters, from my base when I heard a patter, Of mighty feet and Russian slaughter 'pon the BLU team base's floor; Not a single sandvich ate he; nor fists ensheathed by pair o'KGB; But, with gun of mini, perched above the base's floor- Perched upon a teleporter just above my sniper floor- Perched, and shot, and nothing more. Then this Soviet man a-shooting, turned 'pon me grinning, smiling, By the mad and crazed eye in its countenance it wore, "OI! Th'round has ended, wanka," I said, "oi'll report ye, For my patience's wearin' thin, and ye're wanderin' in from RED team's shores,- Tell me what th'ell d'you think you're doin' on a BLU team's teleporter!" Quoth the Heavy, "Cry some more."
That was awesome! I love Quoth the Raven parodies
I love the idea, don't love that it doesn't scan to the original.
This was pretty epic. Stumbled on a few lines and the rhyming structure isn't quite the same, but generally good. inb4 the Fall of the House of Mann?
