Entry for YC120 New Eden Capsuleer’s Writing Contest in the poetry category.

It was fifteen years ago today,
That PIE first entered the fray,
They’ve never really gone out of style,
And they’re guaranteed to raise a smile,
So may I raise a glass,
The corp we’ve known for all these years,
Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris!

We’re Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris,
For God we’re always fighting,
We’re Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris,
Reclaiming’s always been our thing,
Praetoria Imperialis, Praetoria Imperialis,
Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris,
It’s wonderful to be Amarr,
It’s certainly a thrill,
There’s so many errant Minmatars,
We’d like to take them home with us,
We’d love to take them home.

I don’t really want to stop the show,
But I thought that you might like to know,
That the CEO’s called Shaikar,
And he wants you all to be so pure,
So let me introduce to you,
The one and only Admiral Shaikar,
And Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris!
