A Fungus From Yuggoth
Our chum A Fungus From Yuggoth was aghast when we suggested that no poetry style starts with Y. He said that our education must be terribly lacking not to have heard the mighty Sagas of the Mi-Go, as penned by Pwbkry 8 in the year 1491. Said sagas apparently inspired Columbus to sail the Ocean Blue in 1492.
A Fungus humbly states that he is not quite such a gifted bard as Pwbkry 8, but he wrote this poem for us.
A faction of Mi-Go, as written about by Dr. Albert Wilmarth and reported by H.P. Lovecraft in "The Whisperer in Darkness," have, unfortunately, caused humans to mistrust the Fungus From Yuggoth. Like humans, this race of beings has good and bad elements.
A Fungus has been a great friend to humans and other dwellers of the Netherworld, as is illustrated in this short adventure.
Here is A Fungus' poem.
A Vision of Yuggoth
Mighty monoliths covered in vines of Hlsad
Vines entwining Cyclopean towers in shadows dim
Far away Sol sparkles in eternal night
Here on Yuggoth life is like a dream that never ends
A human friend of mine once said
Obelisks lined up on the pathway of the Quartz Landing
Point the way to Uranus
Yuggoth welcomes all friendly seekers of knowledge
With Neptune and Venus, we commune
With Alpha Centauri and Izar we share the blessings of our vaults
Come dream with us on Yuggoth for a time
Come and learn what we know
For only knowledge shines a light as bright
As an osmium lamp in the darkness of the Qbcdfi mines of Mars
Quartz and Wyoming Nephrite Jade cannot compare in value
Beautiful and precious though they may be
To knowledge
The most valued of commodities
Humbly shared by your friend,
A Fungus From Yuggoth
