Granted, this is only the first part of the full poem, but I love it nonetheless:

ALL GOBLINS FIGHT SMALL, FAST DWARFS.
CARPS EAT!

[Sean Mirrsen]

You know, seeing how simple the thing is.....


Somebody make a program that does the same taking words from DF raws!

[Mohreb el Yasim]

i think you alredy can put wathever words you want in it ...

[Sean Mirrsen]

No, no. Autogenerated poems with words taken DIRECTLY from DF raws and symbols, and then translated into the different languages...  I think it's a mindboggingly simple system, yet it would make such a great addition to DF...  I mean, poetry books?

It would be fun if the game tried to construct each sentence according to specific events/characters.

<garble blargle> Balin, <blargle garble> spear,
<barf-gar-bargle> goblin, <bwargle> Mirrormere.
<blarg> three dwarves, <garf-hargle>, siege <blarfle> tomb,
<garble blargle> Balin. <garble> Khazad-Dum.

NEVER LOVE A LIGHT.
NEVER HUSTLE A JACKHAMMER.

Words to live by.

My first genned poem has started like this:

"Your skin glows like the plump helmet, blossoms as the in the purest hope of spring." 

[Grek]

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree :
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round :
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree ;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
But oh ! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover !
A savage place ! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover !
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,
As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
A mighty fountain momently was forced :
Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst
Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,
Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail :
And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever
It flung up momently the sacred river.
Five miles meandering with a mazy motion
Through wood and dale the sacred river ran,
Then reached the caverns measureless to man,
And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean :
And 'mid this tumult Kubla heard from far
Ancestral voices prophesying war !
The shadow of the dome of pleasure
Floated midway on the waves ;
Where was heard the mingled measure
From the fountain and the caves.
It was a miracle of rare device,
A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice !
A damsel with a dulcimer
In a vision once I saw :
It was an Abyssinian maid,
And on her dulcimer she played,
Singing of Mount Abora.
Could I revive within me
Her symphony and song,
To such a deep delight 'twould win me,
That with music loud and long,
I would build that dome in air,
That sunny dome ! those caves of ice !
And all who heard should see them there,
And all should cry, Beware ! Beware !
His flashing eyes, his floating hair !
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread,
For he on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise.

By Kubla Khan.

Toady, you need to make it possible for ships to become possesed whenever you get boats into the game, I want to sail on a ship that quietly desires a shark

The mind boggles at what a ship would make out of a shark. Oooh, ship fell modes. Your ship could go around delibrately trying to pancake swimming dwarves. Alternatively, it could eat a dwarf on board and turn them into dwarf bone sails or something.

[Sean Mirrsen]

How about a ship with a fey mood?

*I need rock!!!!*...<crash>

[Fualkner]

COLD, OLD STREETS QUIETLY HUSTLE A DARK, OLD DRIVER.
CORNERS EAT LIKE SMALL FLOWERS.
WHY DOES THE CAR EAT?

Yeeeaaah. No thanks.

[Eater of Vermin]

This one is soooo my fortress!   

LORD, DEATH!
VOLCANOS ENDURE!
WHY DOES THE NOBLE DIE?
ADVENTURE, ADVENTURE, AND DESOLATION.
ADVENTURE, FAITH, AND FAITH.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Need i Say more

[Nomadic]

I used Sean's set and it was highly amusing. Here are a few things I got.

THROWING A STONE SWORD AGAINST A HEADLESS ZOMBIE ELEPHANT'S NECK IS VERY SATISFYING.

Really?

THE INJURED ZOMBIE ELEPHANT IS SMASHING WITH THE METAL FLOODGATE! IT IS FLYING BY THE UGLY DWARF'S PIERCED EYE!!!

Fascinating!

ORTHCLASE CABINETS ARE FREQUENTLY USED BY ANGRY ZOMBIE ELEPHANTS.

For storing of their Dwarf Tallow Roasts most likely

THE ELEPHANT'S LOWER BODY IS PIERCED BY THE CRANKY GIANT EAGLE'S ADAMANTINE SOCK!!

How do you pierce an elephant's lower body with a sock? (even if it is made of adamantine)

STEEL BOWS ARE FREQUENTLY USED BY ANGRY ELFS.

Yes. Yes they are.

THE DWARF'S BODY IS PENETRATED BY THE ANGRY ELEPHANT'S IRON BOLT!!

Oh horrid irony, truly boatmurdered was less cruel.

THROWING A BAUXITE THONG AGAINST A ANGRY SKELETAL ELK'S UPPER BODY IS VERY SATISFYING.

Behold, the new sport of dwarven thong throwing is born. Get the adamantine thong onto his middle antler for 1500 points.

[ricemastah]

ALL TUNAS DESIRE COLD, DEAD GIRLS.
ALL SHORES VIEW RAINY, OLD SAILS.
ALL PIRATES PULL WARM, SUNNY REEFS.
CLEAR, SUNNY WHALES ROUGHLY LOVE A RAINY, WARM WHALE.
THE MISTY WAVE QUIETLY PULLS THE MAST.

Now if it had been carp instead...
