"Return of the Nemesis"
​
It was wrong of me to defeat and banish you,
My evil nemesis, from our world so true.
Please come back, so we can resume,
Our glorious battles of yore, with no excuse.
​
But as I stand here, rolling my eyes,
Behind the counter, with a heavy sigh,
I realize that corporate doesn't pay,
Enough for this, to fight and play.
​
So as much as I'd love to engage,
In epic battles, filled with rage,
I must decline, for my paycheck's sake,
And bid you farewell, for my own sake.
​
But know that deep down, I still yearn,
For the days when our battles did burn,
And the sparks of victory did ignite,
In the battles, between wrong and right.
