    EcoCityCraft In 2021

    Another year on ECC is done,
    And oh my was it a bunch of fun.
    Let us look back on a defining year,
    Before we bring in 2022 with a cheer.


    January like 2020, released Magic Tool after Magic Tool,
    From Elytra to Melon Sword, oh it made the sponsors drool.
    February was sad with the passing of Ike,
    A real OG player and on ECC he was godlike.


    March was its anniversary, 10 Years!?! cor blimey!
    I'd been through it all, man i felt old-timey!
    And in April we were given a word of warning,
    A reset is coming? Quick, Panic sell, it could be in the morning!!


    And in May, it happened, the dreaded reset,
    MainEast was gone, along with everyone's soaring debt.
    June and July were rather quiet,
    Except at /warp blaz, it was busy, you can't deny it!


    In August, Magic Hours became a thing,
    People with Magic Tools were going Ka-ching!
    September brought a new Minecraft release,
    Candles, Copper Oh! Deepslate, what a masterpiece!


    October is always full of screams and boo's!
    It's a real big shame that my friend Coow could only moo!
    November has just started, but already with a boom,
    A 10th prestige!?! Oh boy we're all doomed.


    And December I'm sure will have events full of fun,
    All I need to do is get off my bum!
    And thats it! 2021, see ya later, it's been a ride,
    But don't worry, 2022 is coming and I'm sure it'll be amplified!

    There was a server named EcoCity,
    The Builders said it was so pretty
    That when it is open
    Only these words are spoken
    EcoCity is the best server I reckon.
