Wahey, limericks! I especially like how you teach people how to pronounce "Lave" 
Here's an effort from me:
There was a Kickstarter for Elite
That some said was too big a feat
But the fans were committed
In their funding submitted
And it blew records apart - ain't that neat?

i agree, it took me a few reads to get the meter right as I'd always pronounced it differently.
Here's mine, looking back to the creation of the original game:
There was a young man who wrote games
three lives wasn't one of his aims
then he met a new friend
who procedurally gen'd
and gaming was never the same!
There once was a guy from Frontier
who listened to his fans with his ear
the game took a long time
and some limericks rhyme
but this one doesnt !!
So much promise there

Limericks eh? I'll have a crack
Now let's see, rhyme missile rack?
What's that your hearing?
Hissing lasers searing,
Your ship lies dead on it's back.

There once was a Cobra MK Three

He P****d on the floor
Cuz he Saw Lave on the door
But that was the station you see
Bu Bum !!

My engine has failed
I drift through space powerless
This ship is my tomb
....sorry, I thought this was the Haiku thread.

It soon could be! Are we talking strict haiku, or western haiku?

There once was a lady thargoid
Who had an affair with a 'droid
Things didn't work out
And word got about
That she's a cold , so avoid!

I prefer the Limericks
There once was a pilot called mobius
His criminal rating was a bit dubious
He transported slaves to Barnards Star
Where he tried to sell them in a bar
But ended up in jail for being a bit felonius!
A bit lame but the best I could do!
There once was a Thargoid Moo who
9 feet plus stood in her two shoe
When naked she lay
Men queued up all day
For death by shmoo shmoo

There once was a game called Elite,
It was such a marvellous treat,
Though after that game
The sequels were lame
But Dangerous looks rather neat.
Keeping in line with the rest of the thread:
There once was an old rusty Adder,
Whose pilot had slid off the ladder,
He saw a Thargoid
He couldn't avoid
So he just bent her over and had her.
