The Alliance, Tribute III
By The Ripperette



So many memories that have come to be
So many actions that may live in infamy
Having to listen to the mutant Paul Heyman
Disgusted by Steph and Shane McMahon
Glaring and hating faces I didn't even know
Like Storm, Kidman, Hurricane, and Chuck Palumbo
From the day of Invasion to about one month later
WWF's is the side I was on, but was I sure?
Just a week before the ill-fated King of the Ring,
I hade come to adore Rhyno (and the whole obsessed-with-hardcore-title thing)
And Raven, another I had come to adore
I was posotive that after Invasion, I would love him no more.
And Booker...nevermind
I'll always despise him.

I would watch, during Alliance prep-talks and promos
Listening to Shane, Austin, Paul and the Ho
If I can be serious, I'll miss the Hurricane
And who can forget, Mighty Molly, and Spike Dudley's pain?
As the Alliance stuck around,
I slowly had found,
Despite they were being led by-WHAT? Being led by Stephanie
They were almost my favorite (this is between you and me!)
Who better than Kanyon- annoying, true that!
But he was like the class nerd, in that respect.
Lance Storm? Yeah, him too.
But Lance, I halfly blame the E&C break-up on you.
Not because it was really your fault, I just wanted a scape-goat.

The Alliance continued to stay in the ring, even when they were getting kicked in the butt
But they never gave up-they stayed and they bravely fought-WHAT?!!?!!
The most heart-breaking moment was not when the Alliance was formed
Not when the WWF lost, and their first PPV battle was won,
Not when Kronic bored us to death,
Nor when my Rhyno had teamed up with Steph,
It hadn't been Christian, going to beat on Edge with Hugh Morris
Not when Stone Cold Steve Austin had first shocked every one of us.
Not the first, second third time Raven wore a kilt
Not, for the first time I liked the Alliance, had felt guilt.
No, now that the WWF has had Survivor Series won,
The most heart-breaking fact is that they're now gone.

Will we never, ever see Huricane or Lance Storm again?
No longer, along-side Stephanie will Kurt Angle cry...
Me? Crying? No, something's in my eye!
Oh, woe is me, The Alliance is dead
If it IS true, I will bash in Vince McMahon's head!!
Justin, and Raven, and Richards, and Molly!
Shawn Stasiak, and every last folly
O'Haire, and Storm, and Billy Kidman and Kanyon!
At least I won't miss Shane McMahon!
Dreamer, and Helms, and Lance Storm, and Rhyno!
Please, tell me it isn't true, Alliance, don't go!!!


And I think this is where I'll end my 'poem'...more like a really quick diddy I wrote up to honor a gone age...I'm glad I started watching WWF in time to see this-what?! At least 'what' will live on! I know it doesn't all rhyme, but oh well. The only thing we have to ponder, is this: Why is there still a Booker T shirt available on WWFShopzone.com? This was gonna be a poem, but it doesn't all rhyme, so I'd call it more of an artistic way of expressing my feelings for a group of people who I was supposed to hate...)
