On the first day of Space Crafts, Skywalker gave to me,
-- (and...) a Jedi who'll make life truly free,
On the second day of Space Crafts, Skywalker gave to me,
-- two cans of bolts (R2D2 & C3PO)
On the third day of Space Crafts, Skywalker gave to me,
-- three friend trends (Hans, Chewy & Lando)
On the fourth day of Space Crafts, Skywalker gave to me,
-- four battle droids
On the fifth day of Space Crafts, Skywalker gave to me,
-- five lightsabers
On the sixth day of Space Crafts, Skywalker gave to me,
-- six death stars bursting
On the seventh day of Space Crafts, Skywalker gave to me,
-- seven star destroyers
On the eighth day of Space Crafts, Skywalker gave to me,
-- eight x-wing fighters
On the ninth day of Space Crafts, Skywalker gave to me,
-- nine storm troop runners
On the tenth day of Space Crafts, Skywalker gave to me,
-- ten dead stormtroopers
On the eleventh day of Space Crafts, Skywalker gave to me,
-- eleven rebel fighters
On the twelfth day of Space Crafts, Skywalker gave to me,
-- twelve star wars movies (so far...)
-- eleven rebel fighters
-- ten dead stormtroopers
-- nine storm troop runners
-- eight x-wing fighters
-- seven star destroyers
-- six death stars bursting
-- five lightsabers
-- four battle droids
-- three friend trends
-- two cans of springs
-- and a Jedi who'll make life truly free!

I feel like I’ve been in a war. I can hear the zing…zing…zing and see the sabers going at it. Watch out for Darth Vader! Congratulations!

Lol, Kim. Tho' it's been years since I rehashed its movies long ere my retiring, especially with the kids all grown with their own families thousands of miles away, I'm glad for my new family of soupers, my friend. Aloha, William

Aloha, Sara, and with my sincerest gratitudes. Robert seemingly tends towards a fantastic voyage tho' I wrote this prior to his contest--thought it might be of some interest, my friend. Mahalo, William

So good to hear from you, Lasaad. I'm not sure if you still in Philadelphia, but the kids near Boston said that it's cloudy and in the frisky 40s, while it's 70s here in Hawaii. Thank you for your kind share and visit, my friend. Aloha, William
