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
