Ode to Star Wars Superheroes


Hey all,  The new poem is up and we've another tied topic so today I bring you the poem about Star Wars and Superheroes. The poem I wrote is the theme song from the really popular 80's Saturday morning cartoon, "Rebel Buddies." I watched a lot of cartoons growing up, everything from Thundercats and Underdog to Superfriends and Spider-man and his Amazing Friends. While this was clearly not a real show, had it existed I like to think the theme song would have gone a little something like this.

Theme from the Rebel Buddies

When Troopers give the people fits
Blast a planet to right to bits
Scare the children out of their wits
Who will hear the cry for help
It’s Smuggler-man and Wookie

Who saves the princess from her cell
Saves the Droid fallen down the well
Fights Evil Dad and rings his bell
Who answers the call to action
It’s Jedi-boy straight from the farm

Who takes his drinks in a frosted glass
Saves his friends to forgive the past
Flies a ship that kicks into high gear
Who laughs in the face of death
It’s Captain Calrissian

Who steals the plans with practiced ease
Saves worlds from galactic sleaze
Befriends the Ewoks in the trees
Who shows all her grace and charm
It’s Princess Lass

Fighting evil where it arises
Stop the dark sides many guises
Ready for the galaxies surprises
Rebel Buddies
Friends till the end
