Some ideas:
haiku
ode
sonnet
limerick
--
I was thinking for the last couple of days how best to leave positive seller feedback for ElectricBlanketFire in the B/S/T thread, and leaving an ordinary sentence with its boldfaced font just seemed to fall short of the obscene generosity EBF graciously bestowed upon me.
So I thought, why not try my hand at a haiku?
Call him E.B.F.
His Wii U is okay now
Even after the lightning
That didn't really seem like enough effort, though. So I thought a limerick might be in order.
There once was an Electric BlanketFire,
A fellow who'd lend you a tire!
He loved Chinese grub
(Just not the American stuff, bub!)
A chap to be like, we'd aspire!
That didn't seem sufficient either, somehow, so I thought an ode might be more appropriate.
To know him, the electric one
The man whose very blanket sets minds
ablaze
Whither are we known as GAFers
when the truest among us
Are something more
With the keenest taste
and the sharpest palate
(despite an admitted dislike of bluest cheeses)
and a mother
who discovered
Warp Zones
all by her lonesome
Perhaps the moniker
By which we know him
Is actually a grouping of the three adjectives
Which best describe his respective nature
Electric for his creative spark
Blanket to represent
His comforting words
and Fire to denote his passion for games
ever since that fateful 1991 when he was gifted
The Most Super of Nintendos
Sometimes children throw up in his presence
Simply when awed to be around him
He knows that beer is best from a tap
But when it comes to a bottle or can specifically
His opinion is firmly in favor of that aluminum cylinder
His generosity is boundless
Always giving away
Platinum Gifts from that exclusive club of the Big N
and Alerting us to Bombas
Be they Mario Blankets or otherwise
With a keen eye for art
He can recognize Superintendent Chalmers
deep in the heart of a Burrito Stronghold
And perhaps most relevant to OT GAF
His taste for Milk Duds and TMNT
is absolute
Ever since that destined day
when his kindly grandfather took him
to see his first movie
Knowledge he would later generously share
With GAF
Just as he humbly offers
Wares and advice and musings
on this very forum
to this very day.
Okay, I guess that'll have to do. Thanks again, EBF!
