An Ode to WP

If ever you're lonely, in need of a friend,
Remember Wrongplanet ... go on ... hit Send ...
Our Planet is spacious, and understands well,
That life can be torture and life can be Hell.

Climb on aboard and escape the ratrace,
Leave Earth far behind, take that mask from your face ...
A haven to recharge, no worries, no stress,
Just be yerself, there's no-one to impress.

Aunt Blabby and MG, Teach n Fnord,
D&D n fenkis, KK's wolfie roar.
MilkTalk n Istomin, Kitty n Joe,
Angnix n Pepe, he's Aussie y'know! :P

There's DeepHour n sweetleaf, funeral x,
There's Jimmy n Jakki n AA - he's the best!! :jester:
Tim Tex n Amity n Aquafelix,
Enviro, Jlheisho n 1986.

With naturalplastic n roadratt aboard,
Magz n Dear_one, nadroJ, Hero's adored
Dear bloo n Blinty, Firemonkey too! :P
Vermontsavant, Blazingstar, Fey-y-y-ooo :jester:

Sly, Kip n Tia n domineekee
With Edna, fireblossom n goldfish in BC.
Marknis n cberg, vegeman too
SecretOpossum n Temeraire true

If you're looking for answers,
To vent or to share...
The Planet awaits,
and we'll meet ye there ...

We’ll fly over the oceans, sail beyond the moon,
SpaceX won’t know what’s hit it, Pieplup launches soon...
As our Wing Commander, Smudge has taught him well,
MartianPrincess, Isabella, even Acton Bell ...

Found his skills impressive, and when he’s at the helm,
Even Sharon B and Cockney, they sense no overwhelm.
AaronHamill smiles at Boo, for he is our hairdresser,
While SuperboyIan says “Come now, absolutely no pressure!”

Lukario is studying our virtual maps,
Plotting our course, while Kraichgauer makes schnapps.
DWaMom says “I need one of those!”,
As Kyle the Ghost whispers “Steady as she goes!”

Eikona n Cyberdad summon Alita,
Usagibrian is happy to meet her.
The Walrus n Techstepp are throwing a glance,
at KK who’s started a charming moondance :jester:

exexZeromancer n Cecil surveying the deck,
Cberg, lostdragon, Greatshield have their pets,
Deepthought’s checking gauges and wishing he’d seen,
Freewaydog’s h’ordeuvres, the cheese is supreme! :chef:

For BSisko cooks up a storm in the Mess,
Grand Inquisitor starts to address,
The outstanding gymroom, with Vexcalibur ...
XFilesGeek knows that the Truth is out thar ... :alien:

Ferraluce, Mrs Peel, n Summertwilight,
They’re handing out cookies, well into the night...
FleaoftheChill greets that1weirdgal,
As Timf declares “The force here is swell!”

Lostonearth’s chilling, unwinding at last,
She’s helping Confusedsloth make sense of the past.
Skiddlebugz, traven, maycontainthunder,
Grac333, Raleigh from downunder.

They all see a future, they’re seeing it still,
As they gaze out the window, they know we can fill ...
The days with a warmth and a care for each one,
Each Wrongplaneteerer, filled with knowledge and fun.

Zeitgeist n Bender, Wolfram n Reap ...
theWhirlwind n Ivpin, the Hour that is Deep,
Music will play as the craft gathers speed,
Mikah n Tusken, AspartofMe.

They call upon Zeitgeist to tell us a joke,
Warrier’s laughing, gives GentArg a poke ...
As he’s drifting off, a satisfied slumber,
He knows that this flight was his lucky number.

Wolfram n Bender are doing the splits :o
While Nuttdan n Alex are watching transfixed.
They never knew just what they were starting,
When WrongPlanet began, that we’d be departing ...

Creating a world where no one is better,
We all make a difference, we chart this together.
GreenOStar, Bradleigh, ironpony,
They knew all along that Acceptance is key.

Skilpadde and Nick double0hseven,
Shaken not stirred, Retrogamer, n Major :salut:
How we couldn’t see it, envision the fuss ...
Of a world minus judgements, ‘tween NT’s n Us.

All we needed was vision n hope, no despair,
Faith that a world we could build would be there...
A future that’s bright, whether gifted or troubled,
Barchan n Drake say their chances have doubled.

WhaleTuune n Teapot n Jamesy n enz,
Roccoslife, sorrowfairie cartwheel n then ...
jimmyjazzuk, Romofan, starkid, Redd_Kross,
Noca loves lego n puters n floss.

Bravo announces that pyrricwren’s coffee,
Tastes like marshmallow, is chewy like toffee ..
Iwannablue quizzes equestriatola,
on sports and on manga n gameshows n cola.

Trogluddite’s reading The Handmaiden’s Tale,
Velorum from Cornwall is nursing a quail.
DemophobeKlingon is playing guitar,
Adventures in Star Trek n Disney Pixar.

If your name’s not found in this VERY long poem,
Forgive me this once, as fatigue is a growin’ ...
Look for Part 3, for you’ll likely be there ...
In an anime costume, be there or be square ... :jester:

Brilliant, Bravo
Thank you, what a pick me up.

The IQ score (weschler) that I obtained much too low for Mensa

Mensa membership $$$

And I am also " useless at real life"

Work, friends, social, emotional, mental,

I have nothing positive to offer the solar system

At least not enough to justify carbon footprint

Cost benefit analysis

Even the exchange rate of monetary currency fluctuates daily

Maybe video games could offer an escape mechanism

moreover, exclusivity groups like mensa are IMHO self-congratulatory and self-reinforcing, and not generally helpful to their surrounding community. rather than best one another over arcane puzzles and the like, i'd be happier if they instead devoted their considerable cognitive energy on making a better world for all, at any level.

Add me to the roster of "useless eaters" selfishly consuming valuable resources. Kissinger wants me dead!

I'm on a FB group about https://iqexams.net/index.php . The discussion there revolves round scores on the various IQ exams tests, scores on other tests and puzzles made up by group members. The members,as a rule, are several rungs above me intellectually . There is very little talk about World problems , and how they might be solved.

Some groups I fluked my way into.
