‘Twas The Night Before MaxCoin

‘Twas the night before MaxCoin and all through the house
Computers on standby and guarded by mouse
The next day was planned right down to the hour
No way of knowing it was going to go sour

I tried to sleep as I laid in my bed
While visions of dollars danced in my head
I finally dozed off at a quarter to three
And woke an hour later cause I had to go pee

The alarm went off at six thirty four
But getting out of bed was too big of a chore
Three cups of coffee and I was ready to go
Ready for launch, now on with the show

I paced and I waited as the clock counted down
Stared at the screen and then started to frown
Two hours passed and the news it was cruel
“Launch One Aborted - Shortage Of Fuel!”

I tried this again the very next day
Over and over, nerves starting to fray
No wallet, no nodes, no Win64
There went my money right out the door

It’s obvious now and I wish I did see
Someone was ready but it sure wasn’t me
I should make other plans but I need time to think
So for the time being I’ll sit here and drink

I wallowed in pity as I sat there and wept
It’s been two days and I’ve barely slept
I looked for a mirror to do a minor repair
No need for a brush cause I’ve pulled out my hair

For the lucky few who got a good start
Pick a good charity and then do your part
I’m sticking with Vertcoin - my lucky charm
Honest and loyal, she does me no harm

I must have been naughty and St. Max he did see
No wallet, no coin, no profit for me
It’s the day after launch and my heart is broken
So here is my code if you have a spare token

Pathetically Yours,
