Video Game Poetry: Sonic The Green-Eyed Hedgehog

[Nz17]

This is one of three Christmas gifts that I have written for the Retrogaming Roundtable forum. I hope you enjoy them. If you make comments about them, then just remember, like the days of renting VHS and BetaMax video cassette tapes, to "Be kind, please rewind!"

Sonic The Green-Eyed Hedgehog
---
You know Tails and Eggman and Chaos and Amy,
Knuckles and Shadow and Mighty and Charmy Bee,
But do you recall
The most famous Mobian of all?
Sonic The Green-Eyed Hedgehog
Had a very shiny nose,
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows!
All of the other Mobians
Used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Sonic
Join in any Olympic games!
Then one Froggy Christmas Eve,
Santa Big the Cat said,
"Sonic with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then how all the Mobians liked him
As they shouted out with glee,
"Sonic The Green-Eyed Hedgehog,
You'll go down in history!"

When I think of Sonic, the first image that comes to mind now is that hideous thing that showed up alongside Jim Carrey in the original trailers for Sonic the Hedgehog.
