A Star Wars Ballad

In a totally non-craft oriented post, I wanted to share my son's ballad that he wrote with his best friend.  They presented it in the Poetry Cafe at the school a while back.  These kiddos have talent:

Star Wars Ballad by R. and N.

In a galaxy far, far away
a cruiser went astray
Flew into Imperial space
Left, without a trace.

Two droids were on that ship
as it fell in a dip.
And the crucial plans
were put in their hands.

They got into a pod
Launched with a nod
Some troops saw them flee
To a planet with no sea.

They were put into captivity
As they past city to city
Finally sold to Owen Lars
They'd been freed from iron bars.

Met Luke Skywalker
Who was really a talker.
They found an old jedi
So they wouldn't have to die.

Followed a guide to Alderaan
But the planet got blown to sand
To rescue Leia was their mission
They returned to their position.

They blew up the station
To save their nation
But this wasn't the end of the empire
For they do not tire.

In a galaxy far, far away
A cruiser went astray
Flew into Rebel space
Left without a trace.

This boy just makes my geek heart so proud. :-)
