Fighter Poem contest, but in the end, there

WORST poem.

Winner for
best poem
: href="http://www.capcom-unity.com/tmunkee"> Mike with Twas the
Night Before Christmas – SF
Style

‘Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the dojo

style="text-align: center;"> Not a fighter
was sparring, not even Rolento;

The
stockings were hung by the lockers with
care,

In hopes that St. Gouken would soon
be there;

style="text-align: center;"> The World
Warriors were nustled all snug in their
beds,

While visions of M.Bison danced in
their heads;

style="text-align: center;"> And Ryu in his
headband, and Ken in his Gi,

Who’d just
gotten up for a quick midnight
pee,

When out in the woods there arose
such a clatter,

style="text-align: center;"> Ken ran from the
John to see what was the matter. (con’t after the
break)

style="text-align: left;">Hit the jump to see the rest
(it’s quite long but good)

As for best Worst poem? There
weren’t any clearly bad poems in the entries, so we
decided to go with the 2nd best poem that we received:
Unity Member href="http://www.capcom-unity.com/cafink">Carl’s SF limericks. Here’s
the best of the bunch (again you can hit the jump to see
all of his poems).

style="text-align: center;">There once was a
man from the Far East

style="text-align: center;">With fireballs he
was a real beast

style="text-align: center;">He tossed them
all day

While he played
keep-away

style="text-align: center;">His opponents
were toasty, at least

style="text-align: left;">Congrats to the two of you!
Please send me a private message to collect your
prize, the SF20: The Art of Street Fighter Udon
book

The Night Before Christmas
cont’d

Away to the window he dashed like in
4,

Unlocked all the locks and flung
open the door.

style="text-align: center;">The moon on the
breast of the new fallen snow

Gave the
lustre of mid-day to objects
below.

When, what to his baby blues should
arose,

But a miniature sleigh, and eight
tiny foes,

style="text-align: center;">With a big
bearded driver, so strong and so
broken,

Ken knew in a moment it must be St.
Gouken.

More rapid that Fuerte his coursers
they came,

style="text-align: center;">And he FA’d, and
DC’d, and called them by name;

“Now,
Blanka! now, Oro! now, Makoto and
Dudley!

On, Hugo! on Vega! on Adon and
Cody!

To the top of the Tier! to the top
of them all!

style="text-align: center;">Now dash cancel!
dash cancel! dash cancel all!”

As dry
leaves that before the wild hurricane kick
fly,

When they meet with an obstacle,
mount to the sky,

style="text-align: center;">So up to the
house-top the coursers they
flew,

With the sleigh full of sequels, and
St. Gouken too.

style="text-align: center;">And then, in a
tweaking, Ken heard on the turf

The
cringing and crying at each little
nerf.

As he drew in his head, and was
turning around

style="text-align: center;">Down the chimney
St. Gouken came with a bound.

He was
dressed in alt. costume, from head to his
foot,

and his beard was all tarneshed with
ashes and soot;

style="text-align: center;">A bundle of DLC
he had flung on his back,

style="text-align: center;">And he looked
like a Ranker just opening his Power Up
Pack.

His eyes — how they twinkled! his
jowels how hairy!

style="text-align: center;">His Hadouken’s
one handed, and he’s got a
parry!

His stamina’s average it’s only a
thou,

but his damage is great like a
rampaging cow;

style="text-align: center;">The giant hemp
bow he has tied ’round his
waist…

style="text-align: center;">For 320 points?
My God, what a waste.

style="text-align: center;">He has a good
throw, a good Ultra setup,

style="text-align: center;">His Hover Palm
into Tatsu make everyone fed up.

He was once
thought to be dead but was merely just
sleeping,

style="text-align: center;">Its just that him
Death feared to try reaping.

A whiff of
his Jab and a link of his Short,

Soon gave
to me to know he was played by a
dork.

He spoke not a word, but clearly had
a mic

But as soon as he beats you lets you
know “THASSSS RIIIIIGHT!!”

style="text-align: center;">And laying his
finger aside of his nose,

style="text-align: center;">And giving a nod,
up the chimney he rose;

style="text-align: center;">He sprang to his
sleigh, to his team gave a
whistle,

style="text-align: center;">And away they all
flew like the down of a thistle.

But I heard
him mic spam, ere he left the
lobby,

~~~”MERRY CHRISMAS YOU CHUMP,
SCRUBBY KNOB JOCKEY!”~~~

The rest of
Carl’s award winning limericks:

style="text-align: center;">There once was a
man from Seattle

style="text-align: center;"> Who knew only
one way to battle

style="text-align: center;"> He’d cry,
“Shoryuken!”

style="text-align: center;"> Again and
again

And annoy ev’ryone with this
prattle

/>

There once was a man in the Air
Force

Big muscles, tattoos; a real work
horse

He could flip through the
air

Without mussing his
hair

And still come out the winner, of
course

/>

There once was a beast from the
jungle

Who tore out quite ready to
rumble

He shocked, bit and
spun

In fact, almost
won

‘Til a punch caught his roll,
caused a stumble

style="text-align: center;"> />

There once was a bullfighter
Spanish

Whose ego was very
outlandish

style="text-align: center;"> When his face
took a bruise

style="text-align: center;"> He would panic
and lose

style="text-align: center;"> But his vanity
never would vanish

style="text-align: center;"> />

There once was a man with an
eyepatch

style="text-align: center;"> With his reach
all opponents he could catch

Until one
rushed in hard

style="text-align: center;"> Caught him just
off his guard

style="text-align: center;"> Left him flat on
the ground with a small scratch
