Twas a day after Christmas and up on my wall<\/em><\/p>\n

Hung last year’s cheap calendar<\/a> crude layout and all<\/em><\/p>\n

I glanced at the date and the days that were left<\/em><\/p>\n

And knew that of new calendars I was bereft<\/em><\/p>\n

So up off my lazy ass I had to go<\/em><\/p>\n

And think of more game consoles that I did know<\/em><\/p>\n

But most of the good ones<\/a> had prior been used<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Which left me perplexed and a little bemused<\/em><\/p>\n

Until I decided to highlight those failures<\/em><\/p>\n

Of hardware that never quite made it to players<\/em><\/p>\n

With one grand exception, home version of Pong<\/em><\/p>\n

Which sold mega shitloads and doesn’t belong<\/em><\/p>\n

But other than that I think this one’s quite neat<\/em><\/p>\n

We’ve got twelve consoles more but we sure ain’t complete<\/em><\/p>\n

So next year might bring around yet more obscure<\/em><\/p>\n

But I’ll enjoy these twelve rarities now that’s for sure<\/em><\/p>\n
