Dead tree sales continue to flop,
So the IT decided to drop,
An inch from the waist,
To appeal to your taste,
In a daring and bold design flop.

Each young child knows it would be ace,
To go floating around up in space,
But at man’s last frontier’
You’ll always have the fear,
That it all might blow up in your face.

I really cannot understand,
How this nightmare deal ever was planned,
He defeated the Sith,
But it’s taking the pith,
To make Luke stand in Disneyland.

UNLESS…
You can do better.
Yes, it’s a Stars Wars/Disney ‘Rick off.
Best Limerick wins a pumpkin.

UPDATE: we have a winner:
Sam, who sent it three (!). A bit needy but what the hell…
Take a story involving Jedi
plagiarised from the old samurai
and when it all stinks
cos of dumb Jar Jar Binks
Tell disney to give it a try…
So this how old sagas die
said the world wearied master Jedi
a chorus of cheers
for a mouse with big ears
“A Womp Rat he’s like to my eye”.
Star Wars fans complain and curse
That disney will make it far worse
They think it right silly
to watch Sith Steamboat Willie
choke Donald while using the force
It’s humbling to think of the ways,
We can study the weather these days,
So much things we can measure,
Wind speed and air pressure,
Or just blame it all on the gays.

While we struggle for what we think’s true,
Self critique can never be taboo,
We must face the facts,
In our deeds and our acts,
That our own mob can be dickheads too.

I really do not think that I’ll,
See a better prank for a long while,
They forced Barack and Mitt,
For an evening to sit,
On a dais, pretending to smile.

Dutch arty types are annoyed,
To lose Gauguin, Matisse and L. Freud,
To some scumbag who’ll pay,
To secrete a Monet,
That all of us should have enjoyed.

Republican running mate Paul,
Staged a deeply obscene photo call,
Where he washed a clean pan,
Like a nice caring man,
While actually doing fuck all.

Democracy starts and ends here,
In the land that we all once held dear,
To see the left choose,
To start blaming the jews,
Is proof that the whole world’s gone queer.

Some good news in current affairs,
For six county pregnancy scares.
You can get contraception,
Or cure an infection,
But it’s bad news for Ryanair shares.
