*sniff* Wookie, I hardly knew ye!

Hmmm...a poetry competition you want, Darth Caitrin? Hmmm? Alright, you asked for it!

The Rebel Space Chantey #2

We're close to the Death Star, it hangs in the sky,
Hey ho, and blow that thing up!
Imperials don't see us as we all roar by,
Hey ho and blow that thing up!

We're a bunch of no-goods but still we win fame,
Hey ho, and blow that thing up!
Who cares if our leader can't spell his own name!
Hey ho, and blow that thing up!

And when this is over we'll have such a binge,
Hey ho, and blow that thing up!
That even old Jabba with horror would cringe,
Hey ho, and blow that thing up!

Imperial Space Chantey

It's a hey-ho, heigh-ho
Cruisin' through the stars
Shootin' down the Rebels
and hangin' out in bars
It's a ho-hey, heigh-hey
Our soldiers cannot aim
But still the Dark will triumph
and the Light go up in flames!

A Mudwoookie am I,
And I fly Tattooine;s skies
In search of Darth Todd
Whose eye is rather odd
His light razor's slick,
And he shaved me so quick
And when the hair was gone
And on the floor scattered round
This Wookie now pale and pink,
Away to hide had to slink

But now once more I stand and roar
Over the sands I dip and soar,
Revenge is all that's on my mind,
That barber I swear I'll find,
My body wig covers me well,
Once more with pride I swell
Soon I'll have my fill
And his life's blood I will spill.

Ve ssink sis is not funny! *BG* That's really funny that your coworker went to Germany! She should have picked a better time, though, the weather is rotten over here--not that it's always raining: No! It also hails! Wish I was back on Tatooine...

Oh give me a home where the Sandpeople roam,
Where the Jawas and Banthas all play,
Where seldom is heard a stormtrooper's word
And the suns they do bake us all day!

No I didn't notice any accent. Funny about the coincidence. One of my coworkers just left today to visit her daughter in Germany.

Well said, that about the passing of an era. I'm currently re-reading my Foundation series, and still find them as great as the first time. The robot stories are wonderful, too--hard to say what is the best of them. And,yes, I nearly forgot Anderson! Of course, he should belong to that science fiction writers' "pantheon" as well...

Naemanson, your Wookie poetry is really cool! The full body wig nearly made me snort my tea all over my monitor! There's a cartoon in it somewhere, I'll see if I get it out. Wish I could write fun stuff like that, but sadly, I'm just a scrawny little Rebel pilot in dire need of a haircut and no sense for poetry...but wait...there's something creeping into my brain:

The Rebel Pilot's Space Chantey
(Tune: The Lands of Liberty)

Then I'll cut off my long yellow hair,
Orange overalls I'll don.
I'll sign on a Calamari ship,
My passage I'll work free
And I'll fly the great big galaxy
In search of the Mudwookie!

Ahem. My two cents. (Yeah I know, but it's late at night here so don't yell at me :-)

You ain't the only survivor, Mad Maudlin. On the day Isaac died I stood in my living room and cried. It signalled the passing of an era. Heinlein, Niven, Asimov, Anderson, etc. Some gone some still with us. the new guys have a whole different flavor.

But that's the thread creep we need to avoid.

Naked, without a leaf of fig,
