The Phantom Poet

Written by Anakin McFly

A long time ago, on the planet of Tatooine
There lived a young slave boy, and his name was Anakeen.
The Star Wars fans cringed at the horrible misspelling
And vowed to kill the poet for not knowing such a thing
For obviously the poet had not done any researching.
Either that, or decided that 'Anakeen' rhymed with 'Tatooine'
Better than 'Anakin', and was just
Too lazy to rewrite the first line
And then find a better,
Canonically correct,
Word
To rhyme with it.
Such are the falling standards of Star Wars fan poetry.
(The poet would also like to take this time to
Point out the wonderful alliteration at
Line ten of this poem.)
Then the poet
Rereads the poem
And conclusively concludes that the whole thing
Is actually kind of crap,
And should be scrapped,
And those previous two lines don't really
Rhyme anyway,
And this is all a huge waste of time
When, by right, the poet should be
Studying
Or at least doing something
More useful
Than writing a bad Star Wars poem
Which has increasingly
Less and less to do with Star Wars
In much the same way that the
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy
Got increasingly less and less of a trilogy
With each new book.
So the poet
Stops writing.
There.
