Every GOG
Down in GOG-ville
Liked Christmas a lot...
But Interplay,
Who lived in the northmost part of GOG-ville,
Did NOT!
Interplay hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season!
Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason.
It could be that their games were too good, that's alright.
It could be, perhaps, that their prices were already nice.
But I think that the most likely reason of all
May have been that their heart was two sizes too small.
But,
Whatever the reason,
Their heart or their games,
They stood there on Christmas Eve, hating the sales,
Staring down from their cave with a sour, Interplay frown
At the warm lighted windows below in their town.
For they knew every GOG down in GOG-ville beneath
Was busy now, selling at prices of at least 30% off of each!
"And some of them are at half price!" Interplay snarled with a sneer.
"Christmas already passed! It was already here!"
Then they growled, with their Interplay fingers nervously drumming,
"We MUST find a way to keep more sales from coming!"
For, tomorrow, they knew...
...All the other GOGs
Would be on sale into the new year. They'd be discounted several more days!
And then! Oh, the noise! Oh, the noise! Noise! Noise! Noise!
That's one thing they hated! The NOISE! NOISE! NOISE! NOISE!
Then the GOGers, young and old, would sit down and they'd game.
And they'd game! And they'd game!
And they'd GAME! GAME! GAME! GAME!
They would start on Duke Nukem 3D, and then play HoMM3
Which was something Interplay couldn't stand in the least!
And THEN
They'd do something they liked least of all!
Every GOGer down in GOG-ville, the tall and the small,
Would stand close together, with Christmas bells ringing.
They'd stand hand-in-hand. For Interplay sales, they'd be singing!
They'd sing! And they'd sing!
AND they'd SING! SING! SING! SING!
And the more Interplay thought of the Interplay-Sale-Sing
The more Interplay thought, "We must stop this whole thing!
"Why for over a year we've put up with it now!
We MUST stop an Interplay sale from coming!
...But HOW?"
Then they got an idea!
An awful idea!
INTERPLAY
GOT A WONDERFUL, AWFUL IDEA!
"I know just what to do!" one employee laughed as he said:
"We can't go on sale if Bethesda buys us instead!"
...and then Interplay was part of Bethesda. The end.
