It's a Hal World After All

[woodwardiocom]

About seven years ago I was in a roleplaying game run by a particularly sadistic GM, named Hal. Several times in play, I came up with little verses of "It's a Hal World After All" relevant to the events of the day. I just dug them out of my archives:

It's a world of danger, a world of threats.
It's a world of doom, so please hedge your bets.
Everytime, everywhere,
You will die in despair,
It's a Hal world after all.

If you don't run now you will soon expire,
And if you do you will just die tired.
Why do you even try?
Just kiss your ass goodbye.
It's a Hal world after all.

Now if you lose face count yourself lucky.
(And yes, I did mean that quite lit'rally.)
You are scarred, but not dead,
And you still have your head,
It's a Hal world after all.

Evil things lie in wait to devour you.
You might as well play Call of Cthulhu.
And the part that's most queer
Is we're all volunteers.
It's a Hal world after all.

(For that third verse, the joke is that on two separate occasions, NPCs managed to convince PCs to burn their own faces off. No, really, it made sense at the time . . . )

Does your parody verse scan better these days?

I kid, I kid!
