I came across this poem at www.adventuregamers.com
It's written by Dave Grossman, co-designer of such great gaming titles as 'Day of the Tentacle' and the first two 'Monkey Island' games. ? Ideas are like dust and lint They ceaselessly appear Churned out dirty from the mint They choke the atmosphere It's easy to detect them They are coating every surface The trick is to collect them And to make them serve a purpose To separate the choicest bits To pound and sand and scrape them To wad them up and make them stick To polish and reshape them Peeling, padding, painting, poking Pressure, glue and heat Strongarm tactics, gentle coaxing Charges and retreats To add, subtract, adjust, combine To trim but not diminish And most of all, to draw the line That says the thing is finished ? Gave me a smile. And makes me want to work on my university essays [img]smile.gif[/img]
