Ode to Symmetry

by Talia Windwalker

Death the Kid's symmetry would be unimpaired

If it weren't for the three white stripes in his hair

Whenever he tried to dye them away

They'd pop right back up, insistent to stay

His symmetrical handguns, Patty and Liz

Are perfecting to handle Shinigami biz

So Kidd-kun decided to join Shibusen school

To him didn't apply many a rule

At school he met Soul Eater and Black Star

Both scythe and assassin seemed quite bizarre

After fighting them both, he won by a long-shot

But breaking the rules, the three of them got caught

Later, Medusa created a plan

To wipe out Maka and the whole clan

With amazing, invincible, steel-hard blood

And Stein had to save them from all of that crud

However that wasn't at all the end

For Medusa still had much terror to send

To infiltrate Shibusen as a nurse

She inflicted on them a terrible curse

If only Kid could see Crona's hair

He'd shiver and drop to the ground in despair

Crona and Maka became quite good friends

But to Crona's hair were made no amends

Now when it comes to an asymmetrical fight

Death the Kid sickens at the horrible sight

But when the enemy is perfectly square

He simply stops to stand and stare

Kidd-kun has an amazing wave-length

And with it he has powerful strength

The three white stripes on his head

Will lengthen and make his wave-length spread

With awesome symmetry and Death the Kid

Maka, Black Star, Stein and Sid

All the weapons can save the day

They'll kill the kishin and Arachne

But whatever you do, make sure that it's even

Because symmetry is what Kidd-kun believes in

Even when Patty drives into a boat

Or practices the pose that Kid promotes

When all the clouds line up with the sun

Death the Kid has buckets of fun

Even though Excalibur calls him a fool

Everyone knows he's really quite cool

Kid and symmetry go hand in hand

His weapons' lives will never be bland

When he grovels, begging "please, please!"

To pluck Liz's eyebrows, down on his knees

Someday symmetry shall surely rule

Just as perfect as Shibusen school

And Death the Kid will be happy as pie

As he watches the symmetrical days go by

A/N: Well, this was a failure. Although I have pretty good rhymes, the whole thing jumped about here and there like it didn't have a point. And it was thirteen stanzas long! I wanted it to be eight, since that we appropriate for more than one reason, but it didn't turn out that way. And I would have to cut out five stanzas to do that. Five stanzas is a lot of work! I didn't want to take that much out... so, I apologize, Death the Kid, for the asymmetrical poem.

Also, the thing about Crona's hair: the moment I saw her, I thought "Death the Kid would go nuts if he saw her hair!" And thus, I added it to the poem.

I hoped you enjoyed it, anyway.
