How have I not written a Star Wars poem yet? Some "Galaxy Far Far Away" rhymes that came to mind at the self checkout today!

We all dream we're a Skywalker

But we’re mostly all just Jek.

Bursting into inglorious flames

Across the steel of the Death Star’s deck.


No fanfare and no medal waiting

When we reach adventure's end.

Just the memory of a moment's courage

In the hearts of aging friends.
