Official Sales Thread Poem by llbun :hugs
Quote:
HDD, hurry with the numbers for Clay,
We've been cleaning toilets forever and a day,
We want to know how our baby is faring,
We expect very good from all we are hearing.
Waiting for numbers is really a strain,
Makes my heart pump fast and hard on the brain,
Ease our nerves with a faster update,
Why is HDD always so late.
I think they know that waiting is hard on each fan
I think they do it because they know they can,
We want to know where Ruben, Kelly and Fanny will place,
But theres only one who will bring a huge smile to our face.
Clay, come on and show all the naysayers just what you can do,
No matter your placement you know we are so proud of you.
We love Clay to distraction, you know that's a fact.
So give us his numbers and watch us react.
We have the following Clay release dates:
none at the moment....
