Shutdown Gold #PoetrySlam2015

In the absence of Syl in this year’s NBI festivities, Joseph Skyrim has taken up the event typically run by her. This year’s NBI Poetry Slam is focused on gold, or currency of any type, as it pertains to gaming or using real world currency for gaming. Last year I wrote some poetry along with adding a submission that contained song lyrics I had written prior to the event. This time around, it’s a mixture of the two.

The following is a poem I just wrote, but could also double as song lyrics. It’s about League of Legends (go figure) and hopefully the references are apparent. It was inspired and should be sung to the tune of “Gold on the Ceiling” by The Black Keys. Enjoy.

Shutdown Gold

There are many ways
To get the win
Snowball your lane
And get that shutdown gold

Make sure to kill that Baron

They wanna get my
They wanna get my
Gold in their pockets
Destroy turrets
And steal Dragon away
Its a Riot
And now I’m going afk

Teemo shrooms galore
I can’t take much more
Need some MR
and some vision control

Teemo is also known as Satan

They wanna get my
They wanna get my
Gold in their pockets
Destroy turrets
And steal Dragon away
Its a Riot
And now I’m going afk
