This is dedicated to the winners of the meme challenge

Part I

In fair DPC, a place on the ‘net
Dwells a king and his subjects (and Godzilla, a pet).
The King is not seen; his palace too high
He sends down his commands from a place in the sky.
Thrice weekly he shouts to the minions below
Go forth my fair subjects and bring me a show!
I wish to see pictures of wondrous things
Of sunsets and horses and feathered bird’s wings.
Of dragons and maidens and demons so foul
Of flowers and children and wolves when they howl.
In return for the work that you all must now do
I’m willing to hand out a ribbon or two.
The colors be blue, and then red and then yellow
(You see, I am quite a generous fellow).
To keep everyone honest I shall hire a crew
Of talented wizards to keep tabs on you.
And the people they smile and sometimes they smirk
For they know they are truly best at this work.
And they sit and they wait for the king’s wish to come down
and gather their ribbons from the man in the crown.

Now in this fair town many abide
Their talents are awesome, their thoughts they won’t hide.
They are willing to share the things that they know
To help all who enter the king’s magical show.
Now recently in this most happy place
the king pronounced grandly (a wicked smile on his face)
My subjects you shall all be happy to know
I have finally decided on one weekly show.
The theme of this show shall be a meme
No letters allowed in whatever your scheme.
And the people looked up with growing despair
WTF said a few has he run out of air?
Has he lost his mind? Is his head filled with moss?
Without letters we can’t get our message across!
They started to murmur and then rant and then cry
But the king just ignored them from his palace on high.

to be continued....
