Competition: Tarax Has An Idea: The Ballad of Senility

Finished
Tarax Has An Idea: The Ballad of Senility

Specifics

Tarax has decided he is a Warrior Poet of sorts. Unfortunately, he's not exactly very poetic, so he's in need of some help. Craft him a ballad or simple poem of some kind that will be remembered through the ages - either with your own imagination, or by re-writing the words of a famous poem to a Tarax and Star Wars theme (if you do this, cite your original source material!)

Platform

Whatever you like so long as Tarax can open it, but going to an open mic night and taping yourself reciting a poem about Tarax may very well get you first place, no matter what it is you say.

Details

Any poem format is welcome, but cite sources if you decide to modify an existing poem in a fun way. As usual with this series, Tarax is grading, so be creative!

Tarax, the Sherpa of Porn
He rarely blows his own horn.

Something something I hate you.

There once was a man named Kor
Who I wish was more of a bore
But instead he's a troll
And we call him a pole
But we luff him just like a cold sore

Try to be best
‘Cause you’re only a man
And a man’s gotta learn to take it

Try to believe
Though the going gets rough
That you gotta hang tough to make it

History repeats itself
Try and you’ll succeed

Never doubt that Tarax' the one
And you can have your dreams!

Tarax' the best!
Around!
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down
Tarax' the Best!
Around!
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down
Tarax' the Best!
Around!
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you dow-ow-ow-ow-own

Fight ‘til the end
Cause your life will depend
On the strength that you have inside you

Ah you gotta be proud
starin’ out in the cloud
When the odds in the game defy you

Try your best to win them all
and one day time will tell
when Tarax' the one that’s standing there
you’ll reach the final bell!

Tarax' the best!
Around!
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down
Tarax' the Best!
Around!
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down
Tarax' the Best!
Around!
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you dow-ow-ow-ho-how-ho-own

INSPIRING GUITAR SOLO

Tarax' the best!
Around!
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down
Tarax' the Best!
Around!
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down
Tarax' the Best!
Around!
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you dow-ow-ow-ow-own

Fight ‘til you drop
never stop
can’t give up
Til you reach the top (FIGHT!)
Tarax' the best in town (FIGHT!)
Listen to that sound
A little bit of all you got
Can never bring you down

Tarax' the best!
Around!
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down
Tarax' the Best!
Around!

Tarax Eosphoros:
A Son of Taldrya, yo.
He'll kill your face.

Speak proper or die,
I don't even know the guy.
But he's awesome, still.

A Hawaiian Shirt...
What's a Hawaii, really?
Is it near Antei?

A Taldryan son,
He ain't no drum: can't be beat.
So get on your feet.

Fight like a Krath or
Sith, or Obelisk too.
Don't live on your knees.

That's for the suckas.
He's beyond such petty Sith.
A poem for him.

Steel Cross, Gold Nova!
Treasure around, his, or yours!
Get to gettin', all!

It all can be yours!
Just put in time, or make it.
Have fun, and win big!
