Little Left But Sky

My mom's working on a project and said "I can't remake a duck, guys. I've tried and I've tried and I just can't do it" and I responded "God creating the platypus" and then almost cried laughing for a solid minute

Completely useless information, but I just discovered that Obi-Wan's name could be a good fit for the song Eleanor Rigby.

General Kenobi

Greets his opponents with charm

And a smug "Hello There"

And incredible hair

General Grievous

Gets out his lightsabers--

Four, just to step up his game

Then goes up in flames

Somebody please help me make a fitting chorus.

List Challenges

Aslansjedi's Favorite Books

This is a list of my favorite books, though the odds of me having forgotten some book that I love dearly and is really important to me...

I've been enjoying seeing the book lists everyone has been posting lately, so I thought I'd join in! I'm very interested to see the results!

[Pilate] said to the Jews, "Behold your King!" They cried out, "Away with him, away with him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar." So he delivered him over to them to be crucified.

- John 19:14-16, ESV

What fading flowers his road adorn;

the palms, how soon laid down!

No bloom or leaf but only thorn

the King of glory's crown.

The soldiers mock, the rabble cries,

the streets with tumult ring,

as Pilate to the mob replies,

“Behold, behold your King!”

- No Tramp of Soldier's Marching Feet, verse 3

(If you have not heard of this hymn, you should look up the lyrics. I love the poetry of it, and it's perfect for Holy Week.)

So….. I SAID I wouldn’t be the one to help you with chorus lyrics. But my brain said differently during my six hours in the car yesterday. And somehow it went from chorus lyrics to a full version of the song (I blame the fact that “Leia organa” also fits perfectly in the place of “Eleanor Rigby”).

———————

“Ohhh help me obi wan Kenobi!”

“Oooh help me obi wan Kenobi!”

Leia organa

Desperate message recorded in flickering light

Hope through the night

Old Ben Kenobi

Watching the other twin beg him to do what is right

He thinks back to the fight:

Obi wan Kenobi

So long since he’d heard that name

Obi wan Kenobi

So long since that had been him……

………….

General Kenobi

Greets his opponents with charm

And a smug “hello there”

And incredible hair

General grevious

Gets out his lightsabers—

4, just to step up his game

Then bursts into flame….

Obi wan Kenobi

So long since he’d heard that name

Obi wan Kenobi

So long since that had been him…

……………………….

Master Kenobi

Looking in shock at the young boy, now his charge to train

In his dead master’s name

Haunted by phantoms

Smiles that shine like twin suns killing hopes in their heat

Pain on repeat….

Obi wan Kenobi

So long since he’d heard that name

Obi wan Kenobi

So long since that had been him

“Oohhh help me Obi wan Kenobi!”

“Oooh help me Obi wan Kenobi….”

………………………..

Padawan obi

Dreaming of glory and love while he measures his braid

How true Jedi were made

Looks out the window

Trying to leave behind dreams and look only ahead

‘Cause his dreams drip in red

Obi wan Kenobi

So long since he’d heard that name

Obi want Kenobi

So long since that had been him

Completely useless information, but I just discovered that Obi-Wan's name could be a good fit for the song Eleanor Rigby.

General Kenobi

Greets his opponents with charm

And a smug "Hello There"

And incredible hair

General Grievous

Sometimes all a bad day needs is a good talk and a good cup of tea.

Here, have a Hera I painted today!
