October 23, 2003 - In celebration of the brand new BSG DVD set 'Twas the Night of Starbuck And all through the house The DVD's were spinning Expectations aroused. The ambrosa was sitting Beside the big chair With the smell of chocolate Filling the air. The time finally came For the scenes to appear. The ones that we've known So very well for 25 years. The brilliant sounds started With notes very clear. The wonderful music Was Heaven to my ears. In the next moment The mighty ship filled the screen. Majestic And Bold Long, Strong and Lean. On top of the dias He stood with such grace. The seriousness and care Very clear on his face. He would protect and lead The last of his kind. On a quest they began To Earth in his mind. Standing with power As strong and as tall This man refused To suffer a fall. More rapid than daggits His warriors all came, As he shouted, "Apollo and Starbuck" And all the others by name. So much for the card deck There went all his cubits. His fumerello forgotten. He had another space trip. They charged to their vipers To protect the huge fleet. The Cylons were nothing Destroyed in defeat. Last but not least Ovions caused a scare. They soon would be gone In the battle's fanfare. Move along as they did Two hundred plus ships More star systems and planets With their hints and their tips. That's only one show Of the whole twenty-three. The night's just begun With more rewards to see. -- Robert hanczykr@gmail.com Home of the Yahren Spinners tales - Plenty have Spun http://www.GalacticaFanfic.com
