Come gather round, young ones, and hear
A tale of adventure and fear
A game of maps and levels to clear
Where heroes face monsters and disappear

The HUD shows health, ammo, and more
The order is clear, defeat the boss and score
But beware the horror that lies in store
And the lag that could make you bore

Choose your model, pick your gun
Plan your flight and have some fun
Use geometry to dodge and stun
And throw a grenade when victory is won

With friends by your side, you'll conquer all
The game will rise and never fall
For in this world of pixels and thrill
Anything is possible with skill and will

So be brave, young ones, and never fear
For in the game, your destiny is near
With each level you'll rise and persevere
And become a champion without a tear.
