“Playing Games”

Love to play my games, it seems that’s all I do.       

Turning up at set times, just to rendezvous.       

Rolling new characters to achieve more goals    

forces me to don imaginary souls.   

A rogue, a wizard, a tough tank or a troll—   

the role doesn’t matter—I am always bold.       

Playing for more coin, whether silver or gold,       

becomes challenging; the grinding’s never old.   

Love all the carrots dangled before my nose:   

requiring new levels, armor, or the clothes.   

Running through an instance, hanging with my crowd,     

ganging up on villains always is allowed.   

Love to play my games, it seems that’s all I do.   

Glad that my virtual world led me to you!
