Poem of PVZ
By Asher Nelson
Although I’m not a poet, most wouldn't know it
But I’ll tell you this poem about PVZ
If you’re ready to follow along with me.
Crazy Dave, he doesn't shave
But he is very brave.
Zomboss, like a salad you never toss
You don’t fight him, you count it as a loss.
Major Sweetie, she’s not needy
But she is super cheeky!
Sergeant Peel, he has a wit of steel
And he’s definitely not cute as a seal…
Otto do, he’s tasks for two
His tasklist is a total zoo!
Rux, he wears a tux
And he makes the big bucks.
Chip, he’s kind of a shrimp
His fame is simply a wisp.
Peg Legpuller
His pride couldn't get any fuller!
Mark, he’s afraid of the dark
Peel likes to be a snark to him.
Monkey, he’s not chunky
But he is a little funky.
Air Ron, he has no brawn
And he hates to mow the lawn.
Bingo-Bongo, he wouldn't last a day in the congo
He’d just rent a condo…
Bart Barian, he turns all those bounties to carrion
He can’t be a vegetarian!
Exposition Al, she’s an odd gal
But she is a pretty good pal!
Tumbleweed Ted, he said
“Those tumbleweeds should all be dead!”
Dr. Real Doctor, he’s not a martyr
He looks like a crazy rocker!
Dandelion, she lives in a place that’s dry and
With a nice horizon.
Tim, he’s very dim
He can’t even swim.
Hugh D. Votee, he is dumb too, note he
Would hug a coyote!
Olds Cool, he wants to rule
But he is kind of a fool
Major Problem, it’s as big as a golem
And it is not solemn
Blight Cap, her mushrooms trap
And force a long nap…
Dreadwood, he might be misunderstood
But we know he’s not good
Well, I’m at 300 words, that was fun!
But time goes by like little birds…
HOPE
YOU
LOVED
IT!
