Orcish Poetry - My Talo Tatto Worm
Scene

 

 

 

 

 

And now it's time once again for Trollku!
(With your host, Taran Dracon)
 
Submiter's note: Taran Dracon, Orc warrior, is not well known for his poetry. Nor for his mathematical aptitude. Perhaps he is known for his inability to give up on traditional Trollku form long after it was a popular fad, if it ever were. However, Taran has penned a few more stanzas, much to his delight, and your regret.
 
My Talo Tatto Worm
(A Trollku by Taran Dracon)

 
"Wizard Symbiont."
That's what they're calling this thing
Underneath my skin.
 
The thing's on my back
(Actually, "under," I guess)
And it glows purple.
 
At least, so Jax says.
Not like I have eyes back there.
(Be weird if I did.)
 
I'm already weird.
Who ever heard of an Orc,
Who loves elf women--?
 
--No, not for breakfast!
Anyway, back to the worm.
Jax had a worm, too.
 
We both got some worms
After returning from the
"Mutant Pig Mission."
 
Jax's, on his arm,
And mine, on my frakkin' back,
Really creeped me out.
 
The talking water
Explained what the tattoos were
"Wizard Symbionts!"
 
"What the frakkin' heck?
I'm an Orcish crossbow guy!
Don't need hitchhikers!"
 
But then, Jax and me,
We learned of the worms' powers.
Pretty far out stuff!
 
Detecting portals,
Absorbing magical spells.
(Drains dexterity!)
 
Well, Jax's worm croaked.
He was glad to see it go.
Or so I believe.
 
"Wizard Symbiont."
Fancy name for a glowing,
Purple magic worm?
