Marc O'Brien Poet Rhyme

After Nine Episodes

fter nine episodes 
Our new generation must know 
The whole thing started 
With President Carter
Who was in the Commander's chair 
And the computer dreamers were setting off Internet flairs.

Billed as a trip back to the matinee cinema of decades ago 
It was a marathon sci fi adventure picture show 
Star Wars it was called 
And the movie industry was in awe 

Starting off in the middle 
This space air force tale was all the twitter 
Starring one who made a mark with the name Hamill 
During a time when Dorothy was not in Oz but doing a camel 
Then there was Eddie's little girl 
Who was cute as a pearl 

Add a hunk named Han solo 
This fantasy project was a Go Go  
Light years past with everyone taking other gigs 
But when duty called the troupe made the franchise their digs 

With the final one released 
And the storm troopers are now resting in peace 
Taking over the Jedi force 
Is Daisy Ridley who just graduated from the light saber course 

Carrying only one-word name right 
Rey dug in her heels with all her might 
As she fought a fight that was her descendants’ plight
But this seemed to be all a dream with all the work in front of a green screen 

Geared to an amusement park ride 
The latest Star Wars entry tried 
It was nice the characters brought everything home 
in a saga where everyone found a friend when they are alone 

After nine episodes the credits have run 
Saying goodbye since the good guys won 
Skywalker, R2D2, C3PO, Chewy 
Your mission is complete 
And Vader no longer has heat
Han and Lea what can we saya 
Besides we hope Lucas now can a paya


Now with everything in the can
And you have created all these costumed hams 
May the force be with you 
and many thanks making all this look cool.
