Rhyming for Coins
We had some strong entries into the poetry and misc. rhyming contest but in the end we can only pick one winner. However, because I made this whole thing up I've decided to go with a winner and a runner up (who will get 50 NK coins). Prepare your scrollers!
Runner up - Zeni
The Super Species
The red bloon has nothing inside
The blue bloon has more,
Although they are both slow and small
They begin each monkey war
The green bloon contains a blue
The yellow bloon is bright,
The pink bloon is super fast
(So fast, it may take flight)
Black bloons and white bloons
Are immune to bombs and ice,
The zebra is a mix of both
And covered in lots of stripes
The lead bloon deflects all darts,
(Much too the monkey’s dismay),
The rainbow bloons are often found
Trapped in layers of clay
The pesky camo can’t be seen
More sneaky than his brothers,
He zooms past the all super monkeys
And comes in eleven colours
The regen bloon is more advanced
It can reverse the laws of time,
The layers can keep on growing back
They really are sublime!
The MOAB bloon is large and blue
A BFB is red,
They take a lot of hits to pop
But there’s larger bloons ahead...
Gargantuan and Mighty,
The ZOMG bloon is here!
Monkeys don’t like that giant skull;
Designed to cause them fear
But the DDT is the most evolved
And always comes in three,
Practically impoppable
Destroy them before they flee!
But that’s not all, there’s more bloons!
Like Glass and Gold and UFO,
There’s Helium and Bee bloons
And Popcorn just for show
There’s even more Boss Bloons,
Like Vortex and Bloonarius,
There’s also a giant Grey Bloon
Stuck within the desert
But regardless of shape,
Colour, properties or size,
Bloons are the species
All monkeys despise.
A Winner - Demey G (demogorgon)
Comin straight offa Main Street, this yo man, Demey G.
Yo! Been poppin bloons since 09, blowing em up like a Spiked Mine.
Gonna take them under like a submarine. Don't mean to be mean but I gotta keep this clean like Downstream cause I'm above the monkey king and queen.
Yeah, I'm the master of the magma mount, my pop count you'll never surmount.
From Death Valley to Dune Sea, everyone wants to beat Castle like me. Calling out WEEGEE cause he the OG and only he can take down a DDT.
Placing Pontoons on Bloon Dunes just to show I'm the real Monkey Tycoon. Here to pop every last bloon.
Bloons can't touch me til the new DC in an hour. Nothing can stop my Ice Tower. Gonna show off how the specialty building is overpowered.
I'm using Snap Freeze. Bringing those lead bloons to their knees. But frozen bloons cant be popped by bees.
Let's head on over to the premium shop and unlock Supply Drop so I can beat Tree Tops. Wait stop.
Drop and roll cause I'm afire, spitting hotter bars than a Ring of Fire. Yeah that thing is a bloon pyre.
Spamming Operation Dart Storm, calling in that bee swarm, can't tell if it's my rhymes or that Ring of Fire that's makin this place so warm.
Use your Monkey Sense, it's about to get intense. Cause yo this is Bloons Tower Defense!
Place a Dartling Gun, upgrade my mortar to a Big One, sacrifice it to my Temple of the Sun, now I've up and won.
Upgrading to Long Range dart, lost now I gotta restart, maybe next time I'll play more smart.
Now I got Deadly Precision, also grabbed some Laser Vision, so it's time to make a decision.
Do I wanna play Deflation or will bloons break through my fortification? I don't fear obliteration, I just get confused with all this game's abbreviations.
Gonna go with Express Shipping making No Left Turns. Bloons won't be able to handle my mortar's sick burns. Gonna get some monkey knowledge so my monkey learns. My Buccaneers got my back like their ship's sterns.
Gonna play some co-op, or maybe just do Covert Pops, Wait stop.
Drop and roll cause I'm afire, spitting hotter bars than a Ring of Fire. Yeah that thing is a bloon pyre.
Spamming Super Monkey Storm, calling in that bee swarm, can't tell if it's my rhymes or that Ring of Fire that's makin this place so warm.
Use your Monkey Sense, it's about to get intense. Cause yo this is Bloons Tower Defense!
Opening my daily chest cause now I don't play as a guest. Gonna get a monkey farm to invest cause those bloons are about to get supressed.
Bought a Dart Training Facility, now I activated an ability. Bloons can't handle my monkey napalm's flamability.
I can NAPSFRILLS Down The Drain cause my apprentice's magic is arcane. My popping skills are insane.
From Bloon Crypt to Drag Strip my best tower's a Cannon Ship. Yeah those bloons just got chipped.
Bloons popping as soon as they enter the track cause they all get hit by a tack. I swear I don't hack, I just used a spike stack, now I can hear the ceramic bloon crack.
One track left, Brick Wall. Gonna play like a pro and mortar stall. Got those bloons moving at a crawl.
Dropping the Mic like a Ground Zero. Popped every bloon and made dinero. Demey G signing out like a hero.
No questions this week, but I'll revisit them and include the goodies in next week's blog. Have a great weekend!
Wow, GG people have fun with your NK coins.
