The lighter side of the Left 4 Dead zompocalypse

Funtime Survivor Limericks!

Seeing as the Survivor and Infected prologues are already “taken”, I decided to put my creative writing skills into something completely different: Four Limericks for Four Survivors. (And the largest amount of for/fours in one Boomercharged sentence). And after retaining these monstrocities for many weeks, I have, as of today, decided to release them onto the public.

<Bill>There was a survivor I once met,
Who happened to be a war vet.
I knew him as Bill,
But then he got killed,
Yet he held on to his cigarette.

<Zoey>We decided to take a breath,
As only three of us were left.
There was a noise shrill,
Louis took his pills,
And found that Zoey bound playerdeath.

<Francis>A black-vested man joined our escort,
To reach the military fort.
But when it was dire,
And we needed fire,
He declared he hates the airport.

<Louis>Louis heard a terrifying wail,
That came from a zombie so frail.
He just had an itch,
To disturb the Witch,
And now we carry him in a pail.

Alas, we draw to a close. But worry not! For the second act is yet to come, where the zombies get their fifteen minutes that they deserve. And now, I flee.

    Old Bill had a terrible itch
    But he could not itch it in a snitch
    So it got worse and worse
    He fell down like a purse
    And a friendly Hunter helped cure the itch

    @Spy Guy: Is a community not entitled to the sweat off my brow?
    No, says the magazines, you must be a writer!
    No, says the websites, you do not deserve attention!
    No, says the newspaper, games do not belong!
    But here, at boomercharged, I say yes!

    I hate Ayn Rand.

    Loosely (heavily) related to BioShock.

    With regards to the one about Louis:

    Has anyone else noticed that whenever the AI is playing Louis, he’s horrible? He always disturbs the witch, or tries to revive me when both of us just got boomed, or does something equally stupid. The other survivorbots are fine, but Louis is just awful.

    And I’m not the only one who has said this. I have talked to a few other people about it and they agree.

    Now go do a haiku or sonnet :)

    I’m-a gonna need a whole lot of cookies here. That’s nice.

    Anyways, maybe some sneaky racist at Valve made the Louis-bot stupid as his way to say “blacks are stupid,”

    Disclaimer: this is merely a theory and does not reflect my opinion in any way.

    ummm… Luis bot is just fine for me. Now don’t get me started on Zoey! *Sarcasm*
