Ode to Probe

[image loading]

0p9p is what I was taught.
You have to make probes... not some, but a lot!
How can we break a Terran 3/3,
if we don't even have money for goons and HTs?

Indeed, every toss quite soon comes to see
That 1a2a won't work if their groups are empty!
Sure you can micro and harass like you're cool,
But if you're outmacroed, you'll look like a fool.

So how does one avoid that most fearsome of fears:
That "you require more minerals" floats to your ears?
As stated before and as repeated right now,
don't cut those probes you ungrateful cow!

Probes get the money you use to survive:
The money that buys reavers, DTs, and colossi!
It doesn't take long 'fore they pay off their 50;
They can even go scout -- they're really quite nifty!

With that now all said, I'm sure you are curious:
Why all this rhyme about something so obvious?
Dear friends, I must now bring your attention upon
This new but unwanted forum icon!

Now don't get me wrong, for zealots are fun,
They drop onto tanks and 2-hit lings with +1!
But without my probes, these charging "For Aiur!"s
Would be unemployed and begging for hire

I hope my request is understood fine,
And that no one was lost in my Seussian rhyme.
But, just in case, a TL:DR as I close:
Oh please TL, can I stay a probe?

I have my current account because I foolishly asked for a permanent reaver icon. Later I realized I actually loved DT's but alas!!! It was too late.

Pretty good poem. This is a much better request than mine... which was to stay a zergling.

That failed eventually.

Hope you get your probe!

Reminded me of Dr. Seuss. Except it was cooler because it was about StarCraft.
