Banelings

There was a clutch of banelings,

Hidden underground.

Waiting for some orders,

Told not to make a sound.

Bu then they heard some footsteps,

A terran force approached.

Thought that this could be their world,

Acting beyond reproach.

So the banelings waited for them,

Popped up at a command.

Curses, cries, they filled the air,

The terrans made their stand.

But soon it was all over,

In a storm of acid rain.

The terrans writhed in agony,

In torment from their pain.

But no banelings were left either,

But that was about to change.

As zerglings came on bounding by,

Their genes they would exchange.

So then new banelings burrowed down,

Waiting to erupt.

Such is the fate of banelings,

Life can be so abrupt.
