This is an ode to a game that nobody played

For the classes and functions and code that I made

For the weeks designing how the screen would be laid

With Pseudo-3D and traces that rayed

With cool explosions filled with particles sprayed

This is an ode to a game that nobody played

 

This is an ode to a game that nobody played

Inspired by reviews on Games That Are Jay’d

Yes, I borrowed some ideas, it had to be said

From Bloons, and Pop-Cap and that little game Braid

Yes it’s derivative, but please don’t be dismayed

This is an ode to a game that nobody played

 

This is an ode to a game that nobody played

I simply can’t live on the cash offers you bade

So on your portal my game just won’t be displayed

As my hopes to be famous, continue to fade

My dreams of riches somehow decayed

This is an ode to a game that nobody played

 

This is an ode to a game that nobody played

It sits on my hard drive, alone and, afraid

Wait, an idea, is suddenly splayed!

I’ll rework it for iOS, and then I’ll get paid!

Except through the 1000’s of other games it must wade

This is an ode to a game that nobody played
