My 8th-grader banged out this poem in about 15 minutes. It’s probably the best thing you will read today.


Swiggity Swastical My fake hand feels plastical

“But how’d you lose it?” you might wonder. It’s story time, kids, and I’m bringing the thunder.

See, saving the galaxy’s my number one task I fly between planets with an oxygen mask

Got in a fight with my evil jerk father He cut off my hand, a five digit slaughter

“Rule the galaxy, as Father and Son!” But my hand was gone so I felt done

I let go of that tiny iron pole And fell like a rock through a high-up hole

Luckily my friend Lando caught me Deciding to save me though before he fought me

We flew away in my homie’s ship This was a really bogus trip

Then we went and chilled in a rebel blockade That’s where my fake hand was made

So now you know why my hand feels dumb But still, my story isn’t done

My homie Han got frozen stiff And was almost thrown in a Sarlac Pit

But death never came that day Main characters always find a way!

Away we flew at hyper speed Freed at last from Jabba’s greed

Then we lead a final assault The second death star had one tiny fault

We drove an entire ship inside Launched some missles, “Open wide!”

The Death Star was reduced to pieces Imperial plan had gone to feces

We landed, then, to celebrate Stormtrooper meat is what we ate

Now you see why we are pros Saving planets with my bros.
