Have you heardThat Wizards the Company Is amending its words?Before a large crowdStood Hasbronus the Great,Who was chosen to speakD&D’s newest fate.He walked up the hillAnd with a warbly, big voiceSaid rather smoothly“We haven’t a choice!”“You see, it’s been growing,This great thing we all love,Arms, legs and toesBoth below and above.”“It needed a trimming,A change here and now.It became quite a messAnd we didn’t know how!”“So we whindled and whockered,And whixered it, too!And pluckered and splindledUntil we were through.”“This great thing of oursWe fixed with great care.Why look at it now!We’re almost quite there!”“It’s the D&D game Which everyone plays!We simply fine-tuned itIn wonderful ways!”“A new edition it’s not,But it’s got what is hot!In fact, what it’s gotIs quite a good lot!”“With whos-its and whats-itsAnd tweakings galore!Brand new and shinyAt your RPG store!”“So come all, come see,It’s the new D&D!You’ll find it on stands In Two-Thousand and Three!”There was a small silence,A gasp and a pause!What were gamers to do?Cry? Laugh? Give applause? But then came a noiseA terrible, loud sound!That shook great HasbronusAnd all of the ground!It was those cranky, old gamers,The Grumpety-Grumps,Who snarl and who snickleOn their trumpety-trumps.“What nonsense is this?Updated!?! Revised!?!Who could think such a thing?Why, these tweakings are lies!”“These changes are wrong!They’re not good at all!Who gave them the right?We’ll make Wizards fall!”“We won’t pay a cent!Not one penny more!We’ll never buy anythingFrom that Wizards’ store!”Then they stamped their gnarled feet,And pulled at their humps!They gnashed their sharp teeth!These were nasty old Grumps.And from way out back yonder,Somewhere over there,Came kindly, good gamers,With harsh words to share.“Look here, you old Grumps!You nay-saying fools!Stop all your nonsense!We want revised rules!”“Give us wizardy wizards!Make more thievery thieves!Better feats, spells and skillsWhat more does one need?"And then just like thatThe good gamers were done,Awaiting the releaseOf their updated fun!The Grumps didn’t like it.They hate change a-plenty.So they saved all their moneyAnd downloaded d20!- Ed Bonny</blockquote>
