Jabbahutty

Jabbahutty

’Twas boba, and the eisley moss
Did wan kenobi in the obe:
All solo was the skywalker,
And the death stars outglobe.

“Beware the Jabbahutt, my son!
The slug that slimes, the jaws that snack!
Beware the bantu cave, and shun
The sandious Sarlacc!”

He took his saber light in hand;
Long time galaxic foe he sought — 
He came by night to the carbonite
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabbahutt on movesome frame
Came sliding in the tulgey room,
And chuckled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vroomish blade went snickersnack!
Leia laid a chain about its throat
And heaved, enstrangling, back.

“And hast thou slain the Jabbahutt?
Come to my arms, princessish rose!
Now, let’s get you out of this obnoxious sexually-objectifying metal bikini
And into proper clothes.”

’Twas boba, and the eisley moss
Did wan kenobi in the obe:
All solo was the skywalker,
And the death stars outglobe.
