It Was Another Day At 2fort
A Poem by I.M. Meen
It was another day 2fort
As RED and BLU both rage and fight
Three hours had the match gone on
Without an end in sight.
RED scout made the first cap before
BLU could build sentry guns
He ran up when the match began
Then ran back for cap one
Cap two was made in the same way
By team RED’s other scout
Charged passed BLU’s only sentry gun
As sappers took it out
But RED got cocky, rushing without
Defenses at their home
So BLU pushed through sewers and made
two captures of their own.
You’d think it would be simple
For someone to cap again
But sadly this is 2fort where
Rounds last all day, my friend.
Quickly engies filled the courtyards
Erecting their guns everywhere
Swinging wrenches with their mighty arms
For building and repair.
And snipers filled the battlements
With their rifles and their bows.
Focused on the other snipers while
Their teammates die below.
And though sentry guns RED still did lack
The boys at BLU instead
Sat back and started turtle-ing
As opposed to fighting RED.
Against such a mighty defense
RED did not know what to do.
Nothing that they attempted
Could make a dent in BLU.
And so the battle went on and on.
Oh wouldn’t it be great
To have battles fought in 2fort
Not become lengthy stalemates?
So RED fought hard, though they would have
Fought harder, I’ll admit,
If five of them weren’t snipers
Camping on the battlements.
And RED kept on a-fighting
All the BLUs that were around.
But the engies kept rebuilding
Every sentry that went down.
RED’s medic built an ubercharge
“Destroy the sentries” was their plan.
But Heavy wasted it to get revenge
Upon a Demoman.
And the flames and rockets flew about.
Back and forth the two teams went.
Until RED scout made it in again
To the BLU team’s basement.
He ran, and grabbed the health pack
But he would find himself soon
face-to-face with BLU soldier
Standing in the intel room.
The soldier shot a rocket
To the right the RED scout sped.
The rocket missed, so scout shot twice
And the soldier fell down dead.
The BLU soldier then rage quit
Full of anger off he stromed
To complain about the Force-a-Nature
On Steam’s User Forums.
The scout grabbed the intelligence
But he could not make haste
For a BLU medic and pyro
Had broken into RED’s base.
BLU Pyro grabbed RED’s intel
After spraying flames around
Scout knew whoever got home first
Determined who won this round.
RED scout ran fast as he could go
He sped with rapid pace
But he was tagged by a flare gun
As he entered his team’s base.
Scout burned, no medics were around
he was sure he’d met his doom
When he saw his own team’s pyro
Standing with him in the room.
He yelled over to the pyro
But Pyro only stared, then left
“YOUR AIRBLAST PUTS OUT FLAMES!” he raged,
And then he burned to death.
RED picked up the dropped intel too late.
BLU Pyro capped and won.
BLU mowed down RED to celebrate
With critical hit guns.
The round was finally over
Another 2fort match did end.
But that only means that it is time
For another to begin.
Irritated with his team
The RED scout shook his head.
He chose to leave 2fort and go
Play on dustbowl instead.
