There I was a'playing on Gamesville one fine winter's day

When a Frantic Fish appeared and this is what he said:

"Everything is slowing down and Gamesville might Collapse,

Gather everyone around and we'll fix it really fast."

The Whoppers and the Wranglers were the first to volunteer:

"We'll help the cause with our words, the kind you seldom hear!"

Next came the Avatars, the Bunny with three eyes, the Penguin (we poked him) and hurried to the site.

We found the problem at Pit Stop Slots–the site was nearly down!

The chat rooms were a buzzing; angry shouts were all around.

Arriving at Pit Stop Slots, what we saw made us scared:

The cars were covered with spider webs and playing cards filled the air.

The Solitaire Spider spun webs throughout the night;

While the Miami Dice just stood there watching in awe and fright.

"We have to stop that spider!" said the Bunny with three eyes.

"If we don't, I fear the worst!" … then he began to cry.

The Avatars grabbed their Bottle Rockets and some Magic from 21.

Everyone was ready! And soon began to run.

"Bingo!" yelled the Frantic Fish, the firing had proceeded.

The Whoppers and Wranglers yelled some words as they were needed.

The Spider went into a spin and spun himself in a web.

Full of Spite and Malice, we hoped he wasn't dead.

In a Text Twist, we twisted him out.

Down he fell, coughing, and he said in a shout:

"I'll never try racing again; my home is where I'll be.

I'm happy with my cards and Solitiare!"

Everyone rejoiced and went back to their places.

They poked the Penguin and now had their races.
