Now, the auditioning BBs auditioned their way.
The phone-game BBs punched numbers to play.
Both groups made the show, they all got the call.
You might think such a thing wouldn’t matter at all.
But, because they auditioned, all the auditioning BBs
Would brag, “We’re the best kind of BBs on TVs.”
With their snoots in the air, they would sniff and they’d snort
“We’ll have nothing to do with the phone game sort!”
And, whenever they chatted, when they were out walking,
They’d hike right on past them without even talking.
When an auditioning BB started a thread,
“No phone game BBs can reply,” they all said
You only could post if auditioned your wares
And the phone game BBs merely called from their chairs.
When the auditioning BBs had their own Bored quests
Like picnics or parties or BB fests,
They never invited a phone game peep
They left them out cold, their secret to keep.
They kept them away. Never let them come near.
And that’s how they treated them year after year.
Then ONE day, it seems while the phone game BBs
Were moping and doping and watching their TVs,
Just sitting there, dressed in their shirts of blue
A stranger logged in to a Bored they all knew
“My friends," she announced in a post clear and tame,
“My name is Southpaw McFanny McFame.
And I’ve heard of your troubles. I’ve heard all the hype.
But I can fix that, I’m the Fix-It-Up type.
I’ve come here to help you. I have what you need.
I charge nothing, of course. And I post with great speed.
And my work is one hundred per cent guaranteed!”
Then, quickly, Southpaw McFanny McFame
Posted a very spectacular game.
And she said, “I offer you Decades, the first game is here.
My friends, play each day and feel free to cheer!”
“Just log yourselves in and hop right aboard!”
So they clambered online. Then Decades roared.
The latest Bored challenge proved to be quite a test
Both phoners and auditioners gave it their best
And McFanny was right, I’m so happy to say.
That the BBs got really quite smart on that day.
The day they decided that BBs are BBs.
And no kind of BB is the best on the TV.
That day, all the BBs played Decades and thought
We want ALL our BBs to at least have a shot
Hop on Decades.
Premeiring in September.
