Percussive Maintenance

The Machine, it appear to be Broken
"To the scrap heap", the mechanic has Spoken
But with a sharp Whack!
The function comes Back
Dead technology hath been Awoken

The Hero

The one who saves the day
Driving the bad guys away
Not always sweet
But does the job complete
In any book, movie or play

Final Solution:

Whenever the hero decides

To stop the evil by genocide,

And to "clean up" all that remain,

And remove all of the strife.

At least, the author's paper aren't cried.

Revealing Continuity Lapse

Didn't that character die?
They're back, but no-one asks why
House changing layout
Don't know what that's about
And that cake was once a baked pie.\\

Human Alien

A being from far off in space
Who looks like a one from this place
The humanoid form
It seems is the norm
This alien wears a man's face.

The Lancer

The hero's up-front

But this guy's no grunt

He makes heroic dreams come true

A veritable henchmen Monsoon

The Hero can face them

And freely erase them

For they are expendable Goons

My dad was really mean
My mother cooked only beans
Bullies hurt my dog
They said I looked like a frog
So the world must become smithereens!

Hassle-Free Hotwire

The hero’s in need of a ride
Breaks in, but there’s no key inside
Slips under the dash
Twists and turns, in a flash
The getaway car hits its stride

Subverted Rhyme Every Occasion

Rhymes are words ending in Kind

But that convention may be left Behind

The anti-poetic

An inverse aesthetic

Lines like these are harder to...Discover

He swears he'll never tell a lie
With a smiling face
He decorates cakes
Isn't he such a swell guy?

The Dragon

The villain's henchman

It's like he's his fan

He listens to his master, so

The Big Bad will put on a show

Stink Snub

That person's foul odour is bold

It is prudent that he be told

A fair note to abide

or a comment most snide

But we don't want him growing black mould

[hits 'Random Trope' button]

Eccentric Exterminator

Is your household infested with rats,
With insects, with snakes, or with bats?
This guy's on the case,
But that grin on his face
Makes you wonder if he enjoys the 'splats'...

Bestiality Is Depravednote 

Non-human animals, they cannot consent

Bestiality makes people rather bent

Stay away from that dog

And do not pork that hog

Or off to the jail you are sent

Hey how you doing well I'm doing just fine I lied I'm dying inside

Right Through the Wall:

You’re in a room with a wall

But you still hear Jerry’s phone call

Too much for your brain

You’ll go insane

And end up in an asylum hall

Damn You, Muscle Memory! (giving "random trope" a try)

He was once a pro PC-Gamer

But now on the X-Box, he's Lamer

Switching from Gamecube

Turned him into a Noob

His KDR stats are a Shamer

Creepy skeleton of doom

It's not a man
Maybe a demon?

Super Gender-Bender (Random tropes strikes back!)

An ordinary day, but duty calls

Monsters bursting through the walls

She said a magic chant

Sparkles were not scant

Now we have a hero with steel balls

Can't Un-Hear It (random trope)

If you hear a character's voice

In an adaptation of choice

You can't stop hearing it when you see them

In your mind that looks like Shem

But the character will make some noise

Sudden Soundtrack Stop

Background music's nice to hear
So when it stops, we may feel fear
Or laugh at the comedic beat
Or even find it bittersweet
But that music's always near

It's a Wonderful Plot

If someone may think to insist
All's worse just because they exist,
They're shown what difference
Is caused by their absence,
And confirm why they should still persist.
