The Clanker Prank

The Jedi must follow a strictly-strict code,

And war thus included makes quite a rough road.

No one is averse to a laugh or a smile,

And the 501st needed some after a while.

One day Anakin wanted to have some fun.

He took from a scrap-pile a battered B-1.

(The authorities sleeping, there was no one to stop

This immature prank; they had no "Cruiser Cop".)

So Anakin then commed his number-one captain,

Sent Rex on a mission, his own work became trapped in.

Rex sneaked to the quarters of the 212th commander.

Anakin polished the droid with a sander.

While our good general was thus occupied,

Cody's door opened, and Rex slipped inside.

He stole Cody's armor and slipped out once more,

Then took the precaution to lock Cody's door.

"I have it here, general!" the captain then said.

"So, both Cody and Obi-Wan are in bed?"

"The door's been secured, sir; no worries from them!"

They both set to work, and then jumped when - "AHEM!"

It was General Fisto, and they saw with surprise,

That he was observing them with large, amused eyes.

"What gives?" he demanded. Rex coughed in his hand,

And invited Kit Fisto to come join the band.

They told of their scheme, and Fisto approved.

With great difficulty, Cody's armor was moved

To cover the droid's metal form over all,

And Anakin sighed. "That droid isn't tall

Enough to be Cody!" - "Don't worry," said Kit.

"Kenobi won't notice 'til after a bit."

The next morning, the 212th general did arise.

"Dear me!" he exclaimed, not without some surprise.

"I thought Cody was taller; what's wrong with my eyes?

I must still be dreaming; oh, what's to be done?

Why does my Commander look like a B-1?"

He walked on in confusion, and passed Cody's door.

He jumped up in shock as he heard a loud roar.

"Gen'ral! GEN-ER-AL! Let me out of here!"

Obi-Wan pulled his beard and sighed. "Oh, dear."

In a matter of moments, the door opened wide.

Commander Cody stalked out from inside.

"Cody!" Kenobi cried, feeling quite annoyed.

"Why in the world did you look like a droid?"

"I'm telling you, sir, it was Skywalker's trick.

Rex must have been in on it, too...Are you sick?"

For Kenobi had fallen flat on his back.

He was sure that Cody was on the right track.

Cody rushed to the bridge and plowed through the decks.

He finally found Anakin speaking with Rex.

"Good morning, Cody!" Skywalker chirped.

He swigged down some caf and obnoxiously slurped.

Cody growled in protest and pointed, quite mad

At the droid and the suit of his armor it had.

"KP for a week, Captain Rex. And you, sir,"

(turning to Anakin) "Are quite immature."

"T'was my doing, sure enough - It was such a great fit!

But we wouldn't have managed without Master Kit."

Anakin smirked at the plans they'd contrived.

But his grin faded when Kenobi arrived.

The droid was dismantled in one sweeping breeze;

With the Force, Kenobi had done it with ease.

Anakin was assigned to clean all the decks,

And off to KP went our Captain Rex.

But though things looked dark, they had the last laugh

When Cody deprived Kit Fisto of all caf.
