  8. Ode to My Xbox– Mr. Richard O! Machination of silicon, plastic, and metal, Creator of entertainment sublime. Never producer of marital fettle, I remain a respectful servant of thine. Copious numbers of updates are released, Their prices reach zeniths not seen. Complex digital stories are pieced In splendid glory they appear on my screen! Running and gunning, hacking and slashing These things are the stuff of heroes. Power-ups, multiplayer, some gems I be cashing. Alas, ammo and health reach their zeroes! If horticulture, literature, and calculations mundane Do not pique your innate curiosity. Then one recourse in life to thee will remain Fly! Purchase the Xbox monstrosity!
