Rocky looked at Bullwinkle and said: "We're history -

The kids today like animé and playing RPG;

they haven't time for mooses, spies, or squirrels that can fly,

we'll never make a comeback now, we may as well not try."

"Now hang on, Rock," intoned the moose, "We have to both get hip,

our celluloid's redundant now, we need to be on chip;

these kids want rewind buttons and they need to forward - fast,

they can't sit still for half an hour - those old days are past."

"You're right," his flying friend agreed, "so let's spend all our cash,

we'll make a new computer game, distribute it in flash;

let's call a big press conference and we'll drop this nuclear bomb:

The Playful Pair is back - RockyandBullwinkle.com!"

"A website!" laughed his antlered pal, "I never thought of that!

Too busy with this rabbit (trying to pull it from my hat;)

so now we're up with modern times, and we don't need T.V.

perhaps we'd better change our names to Gif and JPG?"

"Our names remain" said Rocky, "nothing really has to change,

a few old pixilations, maybe, we can re-arrange,

both Boris and Natasha have been looking for a hit,

I saw them both this morning and they haven't changed a bit!"

And so our happy heroes hit the modern media stage,

the Bullwinkle and Rocky game was suddenly the rage;

on monitors around the world were kids on interface,

the two spies stealing secret plans, the heroes giving chase.

Oh yes, the name - you noticed - well, the modern world's to blame,

you have to do your research if you want to sell your game;

now Rocky's second fiddle, 'cause at every modern school

a squirrel is okay - but hey - a moose is REALLY cool!
