Forum post of the day: Tank Haiku
Kyleface of Garona started a thread in the tank forums on Tank Haiku. It seemed that some of the responders prefered to write Haikus abut how they don't like Haikus:Nancee of Dark Iron submitted a Haiku on Death Knights:
Death and Decay time!
Missing the cower-in-fear!
Hit with the nerf bat...
Avanaco of Misha added in a two verse lament on druid tanking:
Q Q warrior
At least you have some proper
Itemization
Your items may suck
At least you don't have to wear
Hunter and rogue gear
There are a few other little gems in the thread. Take a moment to take a peek at it.
I was inspired to write my own little tanking poem
Yes, I'll tank for you.
But no matter what you do,
Stay behind the bear.
I thought I'd add to the fun with a little tanking limerick:
I was asked to a tank with a pug.
The Mage, he fought like a slug.
the Rogue went crazy.
The healer got lazy.
And then I was squashed like a bug.

Go or not, no big deal, but my brother and I do a haiku comic website. Seems to fit, but we haven't done a WoW one yet.

Higgledy-piggledy
Protection warrior,
Wary of Death Knights who
Play true to type.
Watching the threat meter
Monomaniacally,
Dreading that death grip
Resulting in wipe.

Auguste May 12th 2009 4:28PM
There once was a man named Bertold;
Who liked to drink his beer cold;
He put it in a cup;
Never gonna give you up;
Oh snap, you've been limerick rolled.

I don't play a tank
So I can't comment on them
But here's some advice:
When looking for pugs
There's DPS aplenty
So spec Tank or Heals
-----------------------------------
Many people think
There are noobs of every class
Try not to be one
-----------------------------------
Caster PVP:
You think you are doing great
Till you get stun-locked
And maybe next time
You will see that stupid rogue
Before he sees you
-----------------------------------
When choosing a race
Remember the basic facts
To educate yourself:
Humans are cliche
There are too many of them
Way too overdone
If you choose a Dwarf
Don't be another hunter
Be original
Night Elves are okay
At least they can be druids
That makes them awesome
Gnomes are just silly
Squeaky voices and the like
Make them laughable
Dranei the "space goat"
If you didn't sound Russian
You wouldn't be fun
And now for the Horde
Sorry, unintended pun
Anyway, here's this:
Orcs are just plain dumb
If they didn't look like Shrek
I'd respect them more
No one plays a Troll
Let alone a female one
They are overlooked
Tauren look like cows
Maybe you can cast some spells
Using your udder
Undead are creepy
Always shambling around
L2Walk Doofus
Lastly, the Blood Elves
They are such pansies, they can't
Be a warrior
