The Gold Stormtrooper

looks in the mirror

admiring his bling

his coolness

makes him go all a shimmer

Gold

apart from his blaster

which is blacker than black

He may be gaudy

but watch your back

Fizz fizz

the Emperor goes

wearing what looks like

an oversized bath robe

Cackle cackle

the Emperor laughs

looking like he needs

a good old bath

R2D2

our beep-bee-bee-boop friend

with great joy I think

you drive C3PO

around the bend

Lego Millennium Falcon

you were a joy

until my daughter found you

used you as a toy

Soon

you were spread around

until magic super glue

you were throughly drowned

Remember the page

bookmark my friend

This is the Way

you directly say

The speeder bike

whizzes through the trees

this scout trooper is full of awe

feeling the breeze

Zigging zagging

this way and that

looking left then right

at the beautiful habitat

His awe is wonder

his wonder is joy

Then a tree

oh boy

I am your father

missed your awkward years

I know but come on

let me get in the beers

What do you mean

all the birthdays I missed

calm down

there’s no reason to be pissed

Pew pew

Han shot first

poor Greedo was no more

He was too slow

probably also

couldn’t hit the proverbial

barn door

Slave One

cruising

for bounties galore

flying

to a dynamic

classical score

An iconic shape

difficult to describe

nevertheless

we wouldn’t say no

to a ride

Orange isn’t my colour

but with you

jumpsuit

I could never be blue

Whizzing around

as a X or Y

Finding

shooting the bad guy

I think I use words in right order

but as I talk people look blankly

I do mumble though

quite frankly

I need a protocol droid

not C3PO

but D4FT

who will go go go

Pssshhew Nnnnnnn

I think that’s a lightsaber sound

but it’s not something

I can wrap prose around

Anyway long story short

I always wonder

are there mishaps

accidentally cut off a foot

perhaps

Maybe it’s just me

Anakin Skywalker left me cold

after his defeat at Mustafar

his new incarnation

was much more bold

Suited and booted in black

with a snazzy new name

a terror of the galaxy

the apprentice to the master

he became

Seven or eight I guess

was the age

the Galaxy appeared in my life

Some forty odd years later

my first Chewbacca toy

I still fondly remember

The boy became a man

but forever

a Star Wars fan

With bruised knees

as a child

who to be

we couldn’t decide

Han or Luke

was the choice

In Chewbacca

we didn’t rejoice

Lego Mandalorian

This is the Way

destroying the galaxy

brick by brick we say

Zipping

from Star to Star

Razor Crest

is better than any supercar

Cooler

than an ice bath

You are not quite

the psychopath

The Ice Stormtroopers

disembarked at Mos Eisley

scouring for a droid

Under the twin Suns

they soon melted

disappeared into the void

Oh boy

Ootini!

Jawa-ini

Scavenging for scraps

amongst the dunes

nowhere is safe

even the most sacred tomb

Ootini!

Jawa-ini

Travelling endlessly

across the desolate wasteland

searching for treasures

long lost amongst the sand

Ootini!

Jawa-ini

Called a walking carpet

Chewbacca is his name

the co-pilot

of the Millennium Falcon

his fame

A furry giant

who talks in roars

With the scrapes he gets into

he can never ever

be called a bore

Darth Maul

for some the greatest Sith of all

For me

Darth Bane is the one

covered in orbalisks

meditating under Tatooine’s

twin Suns

X Wing vs Tie Fighter

come on

shoot the blighter

The side you cheer

light or dark

shows your

smile or sneer

Mando and Boba

is there a more awesome duo

Together

they could smash Pluto

In their beskar

they can take the hits

They both

give us the…….

Quick draw Solo

a scoundrel maybe

but don’t ever

call him a cry baby

Blasting Stormtroopers

left and right

White helmeted ones

don’t get in his sight

Jango Fett

you were a badass

threat

but your boy Boba

is the one

who smashed

the bounties

beat the rest

The Warrior rises

baby in Arms

One to protect

and see no Harm

🌑

Made of iron

a gentle Soul

Guard the little one

his only Goal

I’ve trained you well Chocolate Padawan

the Chocolate Master said

The cocoa is strong in you

ready soon you will be

A chocolate taster extraordinaire

I foresee

Lego Obi Wan Kenobi

swished his lightsaber

The Zorro of the Stars

though

forgoing the natty mask

worn by superstars

🌑

His lightsaber buzzes

limbs flying

building blocks fall

He may be titchy

two inches tops

but he stands Jedi tall

Swallowed by the Sarlacc

all thought you gone for good

Lost was the badass hero

from many

an excited childhood

🌑

Like the Phoenix you arose

or maybe stickily crawled

Your new adventures

will surely

keep us all enthralled

Lost in space

the Smugglers Moon

A place

where idle wanderers

meet their High Noon

🌑

Some to go to hide

others to find

Either way these Souls

are not a loss

to Mankind

🌑

A place to avoid

unless you want trouble

Be warned

visitors you may find themselves

buried under rubble

Yodalorian

mix and match

Badass bounties

he will snatch

🌑

Forget Superman

Batman too

Yodalorian 

is the hero for you

🌑

Cute and fearsome

all in one

This is the Way

for the Galaxy’s

favourite feisty son

As a gift I can’t think of much better

Star Wars and Lego all in one

The child in me can come out to play

whist the weather is drearily lacking sun

🌑

Sitting proudly on display

I can think of only one thing to say

This

is the Way

The Dark Lord

with a big red rod

a smoker’s wheeze

Walking

with an awkward plod

🌑

Rain or shine

your colour is black

It’s so last season

but

you never look back
