My Automaton Friend
_________________
It was back in 2006 and much distress,
I was just a lonely Beastmistress,
And often White Mage much time spents,
As my WHM was welcome in Events.
And so it was eleven years ago now,
I found a little metal man rusting on a ship's bow,
My heart immediately simply soared,
This little tin gentleman I so adored,
I carried my Automaton home with me,
To live a life so fine and free.
I sold my Beastmistress gear of Charm,
Which had caused me so much fear and harm,
My White Mage went on a permanent Strike,
No more me curing without feeling like,
I became a Puppetmistress,
And that is my story of happiness.
My little Automaton became my world,
His dented head and plume so curled,
We travelled far and journeyed free,
He always came running back to me,
He was not like the BST pets and Avatars,
He was an individual and permanent like the stars.
I changed his oil and all his attachments often,
But I kept his name to which my heart did soften,
We solo'd a million strong enemies,
His head got dented like Swiss Cheese,
In evenings I'd hammer the dents out of his head,
And tuck him up in his Automaton Bed.
Now we have been together for years eleven,
Every moment has felt like Heaven,
His courage and his loyalty and his glory,
Changed my life into an Automaton Love Story,
He's my little metal bestest friend,
We'll be together until the end.
My Automaton says words that I can hear,
I hear them in my little shell-like ear,
He asks me why he can't wear a Bobble Hat,
And Silk Pyjamas and things like that,
I tell him that he should not care,
Because he already looks so debonair!
But I can see he wants to wear,
Automaton Lockstyle Pyjamas everywhere,
Those Lockstyle Pyjamas are so beguiling,
When I see those fine clothes I start smiling,
Those Automaton bobble hats and silks and tassels,
Make me forget about all life's hassles.
His baggy velvet pantaloons,
Make all the stylish people swoons,
And his Automaton Lockstyle Pyjamas,
Are only visual and will not harm-us,
His fluffy bobble hat is so festive and profound,
It is fashion at the speed of sound!
