"Little Orphan Bess”

by Don G. Ford 

A long time ago 

In a galaxy far far away 

Awaits the next sequel 

Being held at bay 

We await the results 

Of the last movie option 

The next movie out 

Should be based on adoption 

Which sends the right message 

A sort of letter in a bottle 

Like the tale of Stuart Little 

Our film star will model 

Without a mother of father 

Our story will then progress 

As we rally to the side 

Of Little Orphan Bess
