Rey: a Star Wars Limerick

There was a woman who lived on Jakku, 

who lived in a robot and ate stew,

she met some droids,

and fought people on steroids,

and flew a frater too.

The River of Life Flows On

The River of Life flows on (poem)

We all remember our ups and downs, and our smiles to our frowns.

It is beautiful like a crown, a crown upon a woman, wearing a gown, but will always be let down. 

Life flows like a river, from being heated to getting a shiver, and it is majestic as a wiver. 

The birds continue to fly, high up in the sky, and the children wonder why, why the children cannot fly. 

A country of peace, and all in ease, while some have to lease. Lease their home, always seemed gloam, as they always cover themselves with chrome.

Life flows like a river, from the glamorous sky to the repugnant ground, and it can be worse with a frown.

It can be like a play, being played in the broadway, as these actors pray. 

Pray to saints day, but they always see their lord as a portrait, while their children horseplay in their school hallway. 

Life flows like a river, while all may not be a giver, but they can give up their liver.

And so it flows, the river goes, and life continues to glow.

Fin
