I don’t have an iPad. I keep asking myself — what would I use it for? Now I know. I would buy an iCade and turn my iPad into a small arcade. We’re giving away one of the funky gadget things, and all you have to do to win, is write us a little poem.
The only catch is this: every line in the poem must rhyme with ‘Arcade’, specifically the ‘ade’ part.
For example…
I went to the arcade,
I had just gotten paid,
I threw a grenade,
And my pants were all frayed.
Simple right? All we need is a four line poem as above. The funniest one wins and the subject can be… anything you want!
Thanks to iWorldAustralia for providing the prize — you can find out more about the iCade and other products here.
The terms and conditions for the competition can be found here.

Monday, December 12, 2011 at 3:21 PMMy wife asked me to walk the dog and i obeyed,
Told me to run a few errands, a mental note, i had made,
The dog and I returned and my wife was dismayed,
Turn’s out she said spade where I had heard spayed!
Man it’s good to have competitions back… and I have a iPad which until now my wife has claimed… This would be an awesome way to take it back!

Monday, December 12, 2011 at 3:32 PMOne Sunday night I wanted to get laid
My girfriend’s interest started to fade
Pulled out my iPad and mini arcade
She played with the joystick; I had it made.

Samsung looking for some legal aid,
We all jumped to their aid,
“Battle it out on an iCade!”
Google Courtade…

Monday, December 12, 2011 at 3:41 PMWent to get some retro action at the arcade
All they had was skilltesters so I shouldn’t have stayed
For a plushie Yoshi, $50 was surely paid
Next time I’ll stay home with my new *wink, wink* iCade

Monday, December 12, 2011 at 3:49 PMJust noticed this in the Terms and Conditions:
“The promotion commences at 15.00 am AEST on 12 December 2011 and closes at 12:00pm AEST on 12 December 2011 (“the Promotional Period”).”
That means the competition was over before it begun. *spooky ghost noises*

Monday, December 12, 2011 at 3:51 PMAs a child a Hunter I played.
With helmet, armour, shield and blade.
Now I’m an adult, I work to get paid.
These god damn reports my only prey.

Monday, December 12, 2011 at 3:51 PMI sat at a bar, drinking drinks they purveyed,
With a couple of girls I that I had already surveyed.
That they’d be shy for some fun, I was afraid,
But with a wink and a smile my fears were allayed.
So back to my house, on our way we made,
Thankful I was, several times I had prayed.
But during the fun, I was much dismayed,
To find out that I had been severely betrayed.
They were guys and not girls, keeping up a charade,
But I shrugged and said Meh – At least I’ll get laid

Monday, December 12, 2011 at 3:53 PMFour line poem huh, guess I need to read things more.
Oh well, killed some time for me.

Monday, December 12, 2011 at 4:11 PMI once went to an arcade
To perform a gaming raid
But soon I became dismayed
As their getaway, the machines had made.

Monday, December 12, 2011 at 4:16 PMI was born after the glory days of the arcade,
And was content to let that history fade,
Until some clever clogs made the iCade.
Now it’s old school-charm has me swayed.

Monday, December 12, 2011 at 4:19 PMMy poor ipad always sits underplayed,
Touch control just leaves me feeling dismayed,
Let’s mod my pad with this cool retrograde,
Take me back in time like I’m Tim from Braid.

Monday, December 12, 2011 at 4:23 PMMy eye’s took a double take for I was dismayed,
FINALLY! a competition, ohhhh what’s this? an iCade?
It’s retro design and shape, easily had me swayed,
Yet alas, it would be uttelry useless for the 2nd Infinity Blade!
Ruffleberg
Monday, December 12, 2011 at 4:33 PMIn Mass Effect I got laid
In Saints Row I got paid
In Skyrim I got slayed
In Battlefield I threw a grenade
In Uncharted I ripped-off the crusade
All so I could win this arcade
Peaky01
Monday, December 12, 2011 at 4:54 PMHardly get paid
Never get laid
This life I have made
Can I have an iCade?
My love won’t ever fade
Never will I trade
Would protect with a blade
If only I had an iCade!

Monday, December 12, 2011 at 6:02 PMI can win an iCade?
If I win I won’t have to wait to get paid!
But my rhymes are beaten by others that are made…
Stuff this, I’m going to WoW to raid.

Monday, December 12, 2011 at 6:10 PMI wan’t an icade,
It might get me laid,
I started to write,
What I read was a fright,
Threw it all in the bin,
I’ll never win :(
Sam
Monday, December 12, 2011 at 6:42 PMMaking a trade,
It’s looking pretty lame,
My offerings are quite tame,
I should’ve traded for an iCade.
Look at what I could have made,
the joy that would be saved,
If only I had paid,
to get an iCade.

Monday, December 12, 2011 at 7:03 PMI once met a girl, I got laid
A month on, no period, I prayed
No rubber? You idiot! I sprayed
Turns out I dreamt the escapade
Lobo
Monday, December 12, 2011 at 7:31 PMI’ve chopped and flayed,
tossed many a grenade,
weilded blade after blade,
for the love of arcade.
Joe
Monday, December 12, 2011 at 8:06 PMIt sucks how virtual controls are displayed,
Trying to see things where my fingers are laid,
But now I can use an iCade,
And choose how my games will be played.
Chazz
Monday, December 12, 2011 at 8:12 PMChance to win an iCade.
A deal for some, this was made.
Many games to be replayed.
Own an iPad? Not even if I was paid.
But to win an iCade.
It does sound top grade.
Problem is for iPad it’s made.
A stupid “gaming” charade.
My disdain displayed.
Not a bit delayed.
Again, for iFans this was made.
Intelligence for iProducts, they did trade.
Their minds not swayed.
My welcome overstayed.
Their retorts cliched.
Mindless sheep, I’m afraid.
Has my point been conveyed?
If not, I’m dismayed.
Tough work is made
When dealing with the iDiot brigade.
