I built a Millennium Falcon and it's now looking splendid and fine Seven and a half thousand pieces (Yes it took some considerable time) But now it's finished we can admire it and work out where on earth it will go for it's not exactly tiny But needs to be seen and on show

So I'm building a Falcon, it's taking a while but it's bringing me joy and a definite smile Thirty plus hours it has taken so far but it's now taking shape and is spectacular The Ultimate Collectors Edition, so quite big so I'm pleased that it came with a thingamajig as, though I'm good with instructions, it's tricky sometimes so every once in a while an error I'll find But it's fun and it's something with no little measure that keeps me here busy with oodles of pleasure

Seven years of Star Wars days we've had this little chap the dog of many, many names so let's give him a clap Obi Wan Kinobi is his proper name of course hence 'May the fourth be with you' as he is strong with 'the force' But he has many others to numerous to repeat as he is a very special friend who makes our lives complete

I built a Millennium Falcon something I have longed to do sixteen hundred pieces of Lego from an intricate guide someone drew It took me several long hours but the resulting model of joy is a beauty to simply behold and admire by the man who's still really a boy

Something I have longed for since nineteen seventy-seven arrived on Christmas morning with a little slice of heaven My own Millennium Falcon and an AT-AT for good measure which after careful building I can keep and always treasure A present from my children (there were tears and that's the truth) some moments of emotion to rekindle here my youth

Monday comes around
Month of May and Star Wars day
when all in humour
with the greeting ‘May the fourth
be with you’ repeat aloud
for smiles and laughter here

In the heat of the summer
for a special treat
as we’d both left school for good
A good friend of mine and I
thought that a film
would fit the bill fine as it should
Something called ‘Star Wars’
was all of the rave
so both of us ventured to Brighton
Queued up at the Odeon
for a good seat
unprepared for what would enlighten
And it blew our minds
for nowt of the like
had either of us seen on the screen
Quite the best movie
in seventy-seven
to which we’d agreed we had been
Now forty-two years have
passed by in between
and back at the same Odeon am I
to see Star Wars again
though nine movies on
My how the years seem to fly
And it was just as breathtaking
as it was way back then
when I was still in my youth
As though I’m now sixty
the Force is still strong
and lives on in my heart, that’s the truth

In a patch of yellow flowers
he sat and looked at me
panting in the sunshine
and acting playfully
He was quite content to sit there
long enough to take a snap
before running off and playing
for he’s a boisterous little chap
Obi-wan Kinobi
is his name (just by the way)
Given as he came to us
upon the fourth of May
“May the fourth be with you”
(think about it for a while)
For I am sure, just like our little dog
it’s bound to bring a smile
