Ode to the Noob

Welcome to PC, you read the rules right?
Probably won't matter, since you'll probably leave tonight...

But wait! you decided to stay!
That's cool, just don't get in the Mod's way.

You've been here a week now, confused as hell,
Why do I have to wait until fifteen posts to put in a URL?

And probably thinking that the rules are wack,
The four letter and twenty-five characters rule is bull,
Maybe thinking you shouldn't come back,
Or will you stay, following every rule?

It's been a month now, you're feeling cool,
But wait! You didn't follow the rules!

Now you're banned, pissed at PC,
Thinking "Oh why me?",

But don't worry, it's only for a week,
But that's assuming you don't turn the other cheek!

Yes, you're back! How about making some friends?
After you do, you'll discover your PC career will never end!

It's month three,
Have you thought about posting in DCC?

You've done it! But you've been ignored,
Then you leave PC, thinking it's now a bore.

Months have passed by, will you ever return?
Yes you did! But you made an alt, thinking you've learned,

Building your PC career again, block by block,
Wishing that you can turn back the clock.

You make more friends, but this time shallow,
But you don't know, though this is kinda hard to swallow.

You make a pair, thinking it's the gender,
Unfortunately to you, it's quite the bender.

You discover they're not fifteen, but thirty!
Doesn't PC have pedo-security?

Reaching the breaking point, you vent,
Only to discover your friends came and went.

Now you're mad,
You then make a hate thread,
Only to be banned again, how sad,
And then you lay on your bed.

You change your IP address,
Wondering how did you get in such a mess.

You learn to adapt,
Getting friendly with the Mods, you have it all planned out on a map.

You're now popular, you now know CSS,
Don't worry about former mistakes anymore, they're the past never the less.

Now that you're a vet, you notice something,
Another noob has come in, and you're reminded of your newbie past,
And wondering how long will this one last?
But then you smile, you soften a bit, as you take the noob under your wing.




Um...yeah my first poem ever XD. I never did them at school, so yeah, whatcha think?

Wow! For your first poem, this is pretty neat!
The concept is very nice. Especially to beginners of the PokéCommunity.
Most of the rhyming is pretty clever, which made it more fun to read.
Now the only downside to this is the syllable count. It's rather uneven, causing the poem to lose rythym.

But like you said, it's your first one, and it's very enjoyable.
Nice work!

I'm not even going to comment on grammar or flow or any of that boring stuff, all I'm going to talk about is how much I LOVE this poem. It's basically a poem all about me when I first joined her way back when. Keep up the good work!

Great poem, and hilarious title! (n00b is such a funny-sounding word) :cer_laugh:

I believe this might be one of the very few things that makes being a "n00b/nub" sorta cool...? @[email protected]

Hahahha, love this. Like everyone else, this is so true for me also when I started PC. Only thing though is my CSS is rusty as I hadn't done that in a while and also I didn't go to the DCC until a couple years after I joined. XD

Hm, there are a couple quick pointers I would like to make, though. First off, it seems you're inconsistent when writing out the numbers. Some I see you write them in numeric form (4, 25) while other times you write them in letter form (fifteen). You should be consistent with how you write the numbers, though I prefer them in letter form as I don't think I see too many poems have numbers in numeric form.

There's also this one part:

It's been a now been a month, you're feeling cool,
A bit confused. Did you do this purposely, or you meant "It's been a month now"? "It's been a now been a month" sounds awkward to me. Just making sure.

Overall, nice and clever work on your first poem!
