“We loves a good story retold many times

Cause we always knows where we are

And what we should feel, so tell it again

   And again and again and make us pay.”

       

Jerry Lee Lewis, that rockabilly blues

Firebrand from Hell, lost his flaming coiffure,

Flung by a wicked witch’s monkey

Into the cowardly lion’s mouth

 

And like Athena born of Zeus

During a very bad migraine

Before he could swallow her mother

To prevent Metis giving birth,

Chewbacca roared out of a Hollywood brain,

An indigestible hair-ball warrior –

Or so I was told by a talking roach

At a bikers’ bar for the local trans.

Your myth is as good as mine.

Stargazers, ready to serve the Empire

In the next colonial war, lined up

For miles around the recruiting stations,

Cineplexes, those soft targets for

Ideological converts to the spun-off

Senior Airman Travis and Capt. Ben fly an MQ-1 Predator during the wings 2 million flying hour milestone Oct. 22, 2013. The wing flew its first 1 million hours in April 2011. The wing’s 2 million hour mark was achieved culminating in more than 215,000 total missions completed and nearly 94 percent of all missions flown in support of major combat operations. Travis is a 432nd Wing/432nd Air Expeditionary Wing Remotely Piloted Aircraft sensor operator and Ben is a 432nd Wing/432nd AEW RPA pilot.

Video games from the franchise,

Trained to arm and fire drones

   

From the comfort of their homes,

Heavy metal music backing up

Their own Velcro tomahawk muscles

As they ramp and roar, jingoistic

Jingles

chewed inside Chewy’s massive

Jaws before he gnarls down another groan

At Jar-Jar’s bling,

extinct as African

Lions or transgendered gazelles.
