T'was the Twenty-Sixth of February, one hundred score and ten
That I pre-ordered Diablo 3, for a bargain way back then
Then patiently waited, for fifteen months, plus a dozen more for luck
When finally, the postman came, and a package my floor struck

"I've got you now" I said with glee, and rubbed my hands and cackled
Then spent some hours by my PC, as if I had been shackled
I played the game for a short time, and like others, was kicked out
And struggled to get back in again which made me almost shout

Diablo three was not the game we expected it to be
Diablo two was far more fun, we compared it naturally
Only four per party instead of eight? How lame!
For this, and other differences, D3 had lost its fame

But a hard core fan I've been and am - and therefore persevered
For months and months, and changes by Blizzard, before I disappeared
I stayed away, and played some others, like Oblivion which then was new
The arrow to the knee, and tales of yore, reminded me of you

One day, my nephews, the spoiled brats, with PS3 consoles
Showed me that they were playing D 3 - the new Reaper of Souls
I watched them play, on Torment One, for they could not do better
And by pure coincidence that very night, Blizzard sent me a letter

"Fifty Percent Off" they said, for D 3 R O S
I clapped my hands and smiled a bit and muttered "Oh, God, Yes"
I paid the fee, and got back in, to the game that changed a bit
And found the game and community, had become more tightly knit.

Since then I've played, day in and out, with effort I must say
Act 5, and rifts, and bounties and bosses - at least four hours each day
Season one, and two and three (the current) - I've played both soft and hard
The Fourth Season, being tested right now, is quite avant-garde

Two thousand hours I've played this game, plus half a thousand more
I'll double this with all that's coming - of that I'm very sure
My journeys will be many and my bounties will be plentiful
the items that we soon will find will be - in short - incredible

Ninety-Nine Percent my achievements are, and soon to be a hundred
With rifts galore, a new T 10, and many chests a plundered
I just wish there was more stash space - that would flipping grand
And more slots than just fifteen - so our play styles can expand

Just one more thing, before I go, and end this long ballade
The work you've done to improve this game deserves a huge applaud
To Josh Mosqueira, D3 Saviour (and your crew)
From me, a Diablo Fan, I say a huge "Thank You"
