Big Bertha

Big Bertha

There in darkness, beneath a torch's flare,
I met my Bertha and her green-eyed stare,
We blasted, together, demons and ghosts,
We chopped up zombies, parasitic hosts,
Surfed a sea of information's delight,
Flying as one in the soft candlelight,
And spired castles we verily breach'd,
Glittering treasures together we reach'd,
Yet as flames of battles past there perished,
It was Bertha's operas I most cherished,
Sweet arias of clicks and of rattles,
Grand concertos exalting our battles.
   Ev'n as wings of blue death there pleated,
   Bertha sneered, denied she'd been defeated.
