Hello, frenz!
Back when i first launched this Patreon campaign, i found myself idly writing poetry whenever anyone backed me, or boosted their pledge. i suspect it was very popular, because i’m kind of like a modern day Shakespire, and people seem to love seeing themselves immortalized in verse.
So throughout the month of May, i am committing to writing and posting poems for every last one of you (provided your cheque has cleared). i will post one poem a day. Sometimes maybe two, just to squeeze all 41 of you into the same month… because nobody wants this to go on longer than it has to – least of all me.
Here’s the very first of 41 poems for Poetry Month. It’s about Frank Judnick, who has been a backer at the Meeple level since this past summer. Frank is a friendly (text-only) face around the Discord server, and he’s basically the kind of person we all want to be.
Get Your Kit On
Let’s be Frank
you and me
We’ll dress up just like him
And then they’ll all see
That when you look like Frankie,
The world will take notice
They’ll strike up the band
And they’ll notify POTUS
But if we all impersonate Frankie himself
And rip off his style, as have many done
We’ll look at a world full of Frankies, and wonder
If everyone’s Frankie, is anyone?
