My Love for D&D

Abstract

Why I can’t wait to play Dungeons and Dragons

I may have never played it But the thought makes me fidget I think it sounds so cool To fight water monsters in a pool (Maybe even Lo Mein Could be their bane)

It sounds awesome as a DM (Could be me, hem hem) When I am one There should be a horse to tame With only Lo Mein

If I was a player, I’d probably be a druid Although not one super rude Cause he’ll eat Lo Mein Without any shame

So despite the fact, That I have never ever played it This is why I know by all my name That I love D&D (By the way, this poem has nothing to with Lo Mein)

Written by JS

JS is Adam Deitsch’s eleven-year-old son — who has never played Dungeons and Dragons, but has recently become obsessed with it. He’s spent hours in the last few weeks reading about the entire mythology, rules, and concepts, and designing his own campaign. He also decided Lo Mein is his favorite noodle during dinner the night before this poem was written. That may have shown through in the writing.
