Axis & Allies - damowords

Striking the Allies
Cocytus shimmerʹd with frozen half‐light,
Outstepping from a lurid limousine,
Satanus saw his sable sattelite
Beam vision of Midgard onto the screen;
His sceptred will
Americana strikes,
An Imp changes channel, ʺSire, more this one thee likes!ʺ
The Four riders trot into view
Before the house of Sterling,
There grew into a wrecking crew
Of calamitous killing,
From that destruction then withdrew
When came the beating wing
Of Saint George patrolling Britanniaʹs skies,
So slipt to hell beneath the Pendle rise.
They gallopʹd down the cinder tracks,
Past Pluto & all that,
Yon mofette cracks & torture racks,
Til Hell spread icy flaT,
Where on a master throne in jubilation Satan sat.

The Indifference of Allah
Hino mounted the marvellous Gryphon
& with Saint George took to the trembling skies,
An important diplomatic mission,
Before their wings a thousand towers rise;
Atop the sky,
The city of the Djinn,
A flight of Pegasi escorted them within.
They were formally presented
To the court of great Allah,
But their presence there resented,
ʺIn your fight with Valhalla,
When deity was demented,
I shunnʹd the theatre!ʺ
ʺMy noble king,ʺ said Hino, ʺWe protest ‐
Agents of thine did strike us in the West!ʺ
Great Allah grew indifferent,
ʺBut nothing can be done,
As evil scented devilment
Exists beneath Heaven,
I cannot control all accounts... our discourse here is done.ʺ
