Lovebirds

If I could write a Valentine to anything, it would be Angry Birds. Angry Birds is a puzzle game for the iPod Touch that involves using a slingshot and birds to destroy pigs. The birds all have different special abilities and the pigs are often shielded by stone blocks, wood and glass. The object of the game is to destroy all the pigs.

I chose this game because anytime I have to wait for something, I pull out this game and play it. It has entertained me for many long hours, especially on flights and bus rides. The company keeps creating more levels so I do not have a new stage to play each time. This game and I have spent many hours together.

Lovebirds

To my dearest angry bird game
though rather simple you are certainly not lame
When I get bored, entertain me you do
Advancing upon levels, each one is brand new
Each special bird has different powers in flight
So charming, so unique, such a delight
The slingshot is always loaded with a bird
One who's intimidating chirp can be heard
Our common enemy, the nasty green pigs
The ones who wear crowns and hide behind twigs
They steal our bird eggs to make a meal
With our stealthy attacks, pain they will feel!
Victorious again, you and I together
To see the stone crumble and the glass destroyed
the pigs know that we are a team to avoid
We give them black eyes, and a large bruise or two
Tonight it is pork and ham that is on the menu
Just when I thought I had beaten the game,
You introduced some new levels, none of the same
A whole new adventure for me to play
How do you do it? Keep me happy all day
Tall, strong buildings made of nothing but steel
Obstacles like a balloon, flag and a wheel
Let's spend some more time, I'll get to know you better
You took our relationship to a whole new level
By introducing a new character, who is somewhat of a rebel
An eagle who kills instantly, swiftly with might
For ninety-nine cents the price is alright
The battles excite me through and through
It is no wonder that I love you

  4. Oh Lauren...having played angry birds once--and failing miserably--I can only comment on how aptly chosen your blog title is in relation to the subject of your Valentine poem.
