The Lyrics

"Star Wars" fans, get this: last year a Colorado man identified only as John D. got a citizen's petition signed for the construction of a US "Death Star" to commence in 2016!!! He got 34,000 signatures and submitted his petition which got through in time for review. The Obama Administration rejected it due to three factors: cost estimated at $850 Quadrillion, US and Obama foreign policy of not destroying planets, and a critical design flaw from the movie- that a 1-man armed starship could take it down!!! That this was even considered for review is asinine in the extreme! John D. claimed that building the US Death Star (suggested name Goerge W. Bush) would create jobs, advance engineering, advance space exploration, and strengthen national defense!!! The official response came from Paul Shawcross, chief of the Science and Space Branch at the White House Office of Management and Budget!
“Death Star” call torpedoed
Pres declines

From John D. of Colorado
Sigs gatherin’
Admin was laughin’

“Star Wars” fans wanted it
Reasoning wasn’t sound
Cost would be staggering
$850 Quadrillion not found!!!

[Destruction of planets Op found]

“Death Star” call torpedoed
Pres declines
Pet was signed

White House ‘mused
White House ‘mused
White House ‘mused
Quoted a design flaw
Fans were aware
From 1st movie
One ship- Fireball!!!

[Project thus stalled]

Insanity!!!
“Death Star’ call torpedoed
Pres declines
(Fans wanted start by 2016!!!)
Note: to match syllabic count I had to chop several words: Pres (President), Sigs (Signatures), Admin (Administration), Op (Opposition), Pet (Petition), and 'mused (Amused)

Me too Wendy! Maybe a petition can be signed for at least an X-Wing fighter ;-)
