Ninjas. And zombies. On Mars.

I'm procrastinating before going to training for work today and taking the ACT (btw, I'm now a tutor for StudySmart in the Chicago area, teaching math and test prep), so here are the fruits of my labor for everyone else's head-shaking. It is the start of an epic poem which may very well go down in history (at least speaking in terms of logical possibility):

Now hearken to a tale of times gone by
Of harsh yet glorious days of battle won
Of robot ninjas at the dawn of time
Ninjutsu and lasers, by the shrunken sun
This war, you see, was fought upon the soil
Where feet of man had never trod till now
The ground soaked through from all their bloody toil
A crimson red from werewolf zombie cows
Ninja airships, bovine tanks, and more
Strove eagerly to prove themselves in war
Where lycanthrope and metal spirits soar

Michael,
Don't be so hard on yourself! Even should it not go down in history, I have a strong feeling that it will go down. :)
