Ode to Leeroy
By The Game Poets Society
Ignoring the fuss
And the plans laid out,
Their numbers and tactics were but a waste
Forcing his pals
Into an early bout,
He took it upon himself to take haste.
Poor Leroy lay
Face down in the spire,
Under the feet of the foes he had stricken.
His soul may burn
in eternal fire,
But, as they say, at least he had chicken.

In case you're not a mumumorphorgha geek, this poem is a direct reference to the great Leeroy Jenkins. Leeroy's starring role came in a World of Warcraft video released some years ago, whereupon he coined the now instantly recognisable battle cry, "Leeeerrorororoyyyyyyy Jennnnnnnnnnkkkinnnnsnss!!".
Leeroy is so famous that he's been immortalised in in the World of Warcraft card game, where actually repeating his legendary scream has actual in-game benefits. It also has a 75% chance to cause +10 spittle on any opponent sitting opposite.
