Here's another word of the day poem. Don't ask where the stories come from, they pretty much write themselves.

it started as a simple feud that happened long ago
it started in a village town, then grew to fill the globe
a question of your loyalties, and knowing where they lie
whom do you serve? then ask yourself, are you prepared to die?
the onslaught waged on for many years, many lives were lost
and now we stay up wondering if it was worth such a great cost
there are no heroes in this tale, only broken hearts
and lessons that there is no hope, and breaks our lives apart...

STOP IT Grandpa you know that's not how the story goes.
The hero comes and saves the day and vanquishes his foes,
he comes riding in on valiant steed, with courage, steel, and might!
and makes the bad guys run away, and flee into the night

at last he gets the princess, together they run far away

and legend has it he’ll return when we need him someday.
and history will remember him for bravery and love
by placing his picture in the sky, within the stars above

Ok, so that’s the finished version I came up with. The word was Onslaught. The following is what I started with, and it came from reading about 3 hours of live updates about apple’s new iPad…

It’s my alternate nerdy ending...

it started as a simple feud that happened long ago

it started in a village town, then grew to fill the globe
a question of your loyalties, and knowing where they lie
whom do you serve? then ask yourself, are you prepared to die?
the war waged on for many years, many lives were lost
the onslaught wasn't tragic though, since they were all robots
build by two nerdy, weathly men, a war between two mobs
and history tries to forget the day Bill Gates took on Steve Jobs
