A nursery rhyme for the Donkey Kong Country generation

This is probably my personal favorite, of the poems I've written. Note the use of text formatting.

Before there was only one 中国
There were many middle kingdoms
But the game only really starts with
Snow Barrel Blast -- "starting all over again."

Born once more, in evangelical fervor
Saying quatrice, thrice, Ic lufie eow
Nouveau-retro hipster CHIC
Firmly plant yon tongue in cheek

Warlordism, gaylordism
Faggotry or tyrantry
This generation knoweth not the struggles that are real,
Bullocks, Bullocks, Bullshit, Bullocks.

Cheese and crackers, wine and burnt toast
Lists of things and things to boast
Thingstuffs and luxuriestuffs that are nice
Drive Bayerische Motoren once or twice.

Are there many middle kingdoms on single Earth
Or for every Tolkienism there's a Confucianism
Jungle Japes is Easy Mode,
But where is the global hoard of Bananas?

Author's Note

The "Ic lufie eow" form was originally a mistake. Anglo-saxonists will probably recognize the mistake, however, I think the meaning behind the mistake actually fits the narrative better, so I have kept it in.

Thomas Isaac Goodine,
What a creative Poem you have here, not what I would call a classical style but maybe more for the enjoyment of a younger generation who identify with the content. Like I said creative I smiled my way through. I did not understand it but even that was interesting. It is fun to see the writing of different styles and experience the thoughts of others different than myself. Bless you in your life and work and thanks for visiting me as well...............Have given you full points.................Have fun! kathy

Thanks Kathy. I hope that it's as cryptic for my generation as it is for you! Maybe some lines mean less or more than others. Hopefully it says something to everybody.

Cheers!

Thomas Isaac goodine,
YOur author's note was helpful and interesting too. You created a wonderful dark and light, old and new process of historical thought with interplay connection between medieval-computer games and Anglo and Asian themes. I can see that much . Fun poem! Bless you sir! Kathy

And I'll bet if I read it again I will see more...............

I didn't understand it in the slightest, and that's probably what I liked most about it. I recognized enough of the content and then well, I'm not sure. It's so different, unique, my curiosity is piqued. I wonder what you'll post next.

Thanks! It can mean whatever you feel it means. It does have meaning to me, but I like the "difficulty" to be provoking, or engaging to readers.

I will have more poetry up shortly. =]
