    Now Vox is sailing on a trip
    across Bob's continental tip
    but the Storm won't forget
    and a price may be met
    for GoW to sink that ship!

    A true ally stabs you in the front.

          There once was a team called the Storm
          Whose civ skills exceeded the norm
          But Vox said screw that
          And threw in their hat
          But the Storm were true to their form.

            Vox's land
            Felt the hand
            Of the Storm
            But peace was born
            I hope it will stand...

                I'll throw my hat into the ring!

                "A War Gone Wrong" in 4 parts - by WhiteBandit

                A war of mass proportions was launched,
                And from the shores of Bob we watched,
                As Vox marched down south,
                GS kicked them in the mouth!
                And a deceitful surprise was botched.

                Despite this, people around the world still said,
                "Don't abandon Vox, because we're all in bed!"
                GS laughed and said, "Screw it!"
                Because Vox had already blew it.
                And from the shores of Estonia, Vox fled.

                What will happen next, we don't know?
                But the situation for Vox sure blows.
                Yet Lego has been nice,
                offering things from land to spice,
                So where now will those immortals go?

                As I end this really crappy poem
                It sounds as if I'm saying, "Bah, Blow 'em!"
                But that isn't the case you see,
                I'm just being funny old me,
                And I'm trying to win this contest of flowin'

                    The Lesson of the Estonian War

                    One day, a nation named The Voice
                    faced a terribly difficult choice:
                    No more land to settle
                    and they prepared for battle
                    south they marched with their boys

                    The Stormians saw the armies coming
                    So soon they had stopped their humming
                    Instead some were cought by fear
                    others became mad like a steer
                    Vox's plans were to them a bit stunning.

                    All hopes they literally put in Arashi
                    But they feared Vox would soon crash it
                    Such did never happen though
                    because Vox lacked scouts so
                    and they decided not to dash it

                    The Storm saw its second chance
                    They madly produced new arms
                    and managed to stop the Voice
                    by throwing rocks at Vox's brave boys
                    and arrows to stop them at once

                    More troops were demanded by the war
                    The first armies existed no more
                    City defences were reduced
                    too few swords were produced
                    And suddenly the enemy stood on the shore

                    Diplomatically the war then began
                    Peace treaties were proposed now and then
                    But lack of trust from both nations
                    made the players lose their patience
                    And the world demanded peace between them

                    Now the peace treaty is there:
                    Vox has agreed, they will settle elsewhere
                    The Storm shall have an island for its own
                    To let their civilization properly grow
                    And no war will ever be there

                    The future will tell us what is to come
                    Will it be war or cooperation?
                    Will we maintain with each other a good relation?
                    We can only play if we keep having fun
                    And the game will, by all of you, be won

                      /me applauds all... tellers of Vox' fall... I will appreciate... learning of others' fate... as we continue to have a ball. (... well into the fall )
                      The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

                        My first ever poem....

                        There was an old warrior name Grog
                        Who was killed under the cover of fog.
                        The Storm claimed foul
                        "We want revenge" they howl
                        And now Vox run away like a dog.


                        Sorry ... best I can do is Grog, Fog & Dog

                              Thanks for the improved version Darekill. Snakes only made an appearance because I needed something that rhymed with 'gegangen' and 'angefangen', and was rather stuck for vocab - Schlangen was the only word I could think of. Bananas are better.
