Poetry Monday Tuesday :: That one Time ...

Monday, err, that was yesterday, but I was of the misconception that yesterday was Sunday, and today, of course, I'm convinced that it's Monday. This happens sometimes, when changes to routine brings my thinking out of kilter. This time it was a mass late Sunday afternoon. Normally when we go to mass in the afternoon, it's Saturday afternoon, so of course the day after a vigil mass equals Sunday 🙂
And yesterday, Monday - which I thought was Sunday, we were busy catching up after one very busy week. So, no poeming happened. I'd better get my mojo on and write about "This one time ... "

This one time ... is a quest
In the game I find best.
We drink and we fight,
we have a good night
When the Dark Iron dwarves
have used up their reserves
They leave us alone
... for a time.

But they left behind,
a cogwheel, and we find
if to give this to Boxey
- be he ever so foxy -
He'll redeem it with gold
so come, drink and be bold
pelt the Irons with mugs
 ... you'll be fine.

This poem might need an explanation 🍺😉  ... hic!
In World of Warcraft - which is indeed my favourite game - once a year we celebrate Brewfest. It is a spin off of the Oktoberfest in Germany. Dwarves in lederhosen serve mugs of beer, eat pretzels, and ride rams. You can participate, ride, and eventually win a ram by doing strange Quests related to Brewfest. Barking for the two competing breweries, riding and subduing rams, catching wolpertingers, and defending the beer kegs from the Black Iron dwarves. You do this by drinking the contents of beer mugs standing ready and pelting the Iron dwarves with the empty mugs. For this reason the whole name of the Quest is: "This one time, when I was drunk."

Here you see old-time me in 2007 testing the Brewfest samplers in preparation for a Dark Iron Attack.
You can see dwarven guy in lederhosen, the big kegs we defend, the sellers of pretzels and other brewfest-themed foodstuff in the high tents, and in the squat tent just over my head, Becan Barleybrew, of the Barleybrew Distilleries, one of the competing breweries here.
