The Woes of a Pack Rat
by esmivida
A bit of Grackle Bug, a touch of Souffle,
I had to get this avatar completed in a day!
Are you from Norway? Or even Taipei?
Please, just send ALL of your items this way!
Huh? A thousand different items, you say?
This shall be impossible, oh, I inveigh!
What was worse, all through the day
"Want to play Piquet? What about Russian Roulet?"
No, I can't play, I have to get these items I say!
Setting up trades, it was like a workday,
And even by the time that I was halfway
I could feel in my hands an insufferable ache!
Finally my box was full of all things gourmet,
Mochas, Javas, and Usuki Ballet!
Burnt food that was in a grotesque state of decay
I daresay, those must be from the days of Pompeii!
However I soon found I had gotten triples, someway,
Well mister, collecting items is just not my forte!
Eleven o'clock at night? Mayday, mayday!
Oh, please let me find some more items, I pray!
Finally, after throwing in a random Sundae,
I got the random event that would make my day!
Hurray, I was done, and on that very same Saturday!
And, guess what? It felt just like a birthday.
Now, I'm reaping the benefits today
Of all the items I collected on that fateful yesterday.
(And boy, is it turning out to be quite the payday ;) )
