Oh woe is me, for I cannot find,
An avatar to sooth my troubled mind.

I search and search, to no avail,
Finding a good avatar is like finding the Holy Grail!

This one is to hazy, this one is to small,
Nope, not enough pixels, not enough at all.

Right now I’m a picture of Gandalf the wizard,
I wanted to be a fire breathing winged lizard.

I tried being a banana once, somewhere I am an elf,
One time I asked for help in my search, but now I just help myself.

I’ve never found the perfect picture, the spotless avatar,
Though I’ve searched all corners of the web, both near and far.

I fear I’ll never reach my goal, my search will never end,
I’ll never find a good avatar, I’ll never ever win.

It's so true, I never find an avatar that I really like!

The search is endless. I even tried being a chicken, but the background came out weird. Too bad, because it was a dancing chicken. Anyhoo, thank you for reading!
