Jabberwookiee

(Special shout-out to Speedcat Hollydale, as his goofing around with the "Jabberwocky" name spawned the idea for this Star Wars Meets Lewis Carroll spoof poem. Thanks, Speedy!)


Twas suns-up and the Jawa droves
Did zap and gather robot slaves
All cocky were the Rebel coves
And the Empire's forces staved

Beware the rancor pit, my son,
The jaws that chomp, the claws that squish
Beware the Emperor and shun
Dark Daddy, Lord of Sith

He took his saber-sword in hand
Long time for Darkly Dad he trained
So rested he by the mossy tree
And sulked a while, in pain

And as in Jedi sulk he stood
The Vader, hissing breath of fame,
Came stalking through the swamply wood
All wheezing as he came

One, two! One, two! And through and through!
The saber beam went "wumm-nah-ccchhhhhh"!
The vision fled, and Yoda said,
"Much rage have you. Now shhhh."

"And fight you did, your Darkly Dad?
Much you must learn, young Jedi knight."
"There is no try." But, reckless guy,
That kid bugged off to fight

Twas suns-up and the Jawa droves
Did zap and gather robot slaves
All cocky were the Rebel coves
And the Empire's forces staved


Note: no Wookiees were harmed during the making of this poem (what with, um, not actually appearing in it. So, sue me.)
