A/N: This is a hastily written, uneven mess, but I had a lot of fun writing it. Read at your owner risk. But, if you do, I hope you enjoy.

What Am I Even Doing Here?

Shooting through the atmosphere,
I have no idea what I'm doing here.

Landing heavy with a SPLASH,
My eyes are jolted by the FLASH
of shorting systems.

Ship is sinking in the muck
Giving me no time to truck
With what I don't NEED.

Droid goes flying in to the trees,
Emitting a long, uneasy wheeze.

I float him back with relative ease
His only reply a nasty sneeze.

Sitting in my little camp,
Feeling something cold and damp,
On my butt.

Though my landing was severely botched,
I can’t shake the felling I'm being watched.

Suddenly, I'm feeling famished,
And, as I reach for a sandwich,
What before my eye appears,
but a little gremlin with giant ears.

He makes his way right for my food,
This old and green and funny dude.

I really have no time to waste
As he rifles through my stuff with haste.

He manically throws my things about
As if a being with heavy clout,
Muttering nonsensically all the while,
Then flashing me a mischievous smile.

I tell him who I'm looking for,
But all that he can say is "more"
As he struts across the jungle floor
to kick me.

He says he knows whom I’m here to see
As he shuffles into the forest with glee.

He waves at me, a command to follow
But, in my mind, I’d rather wallow
In my disappointment.

Suddenly serious, he catches my ear,
As he rambles on about my fear,
Saying that the one is near
To tell me what I’m even doing here.

I loved this, it was simply hilarious! laugh

And, as I reach for a sandwich,

That's one way to describe him!

Wonderful poem! applause applause

Hee hee! That was great. laugh

My favorite part:

Droid goes flying in to the trees,
Emitting a long uneasy wheeze.

I float him back with relative ease
His only reply a nasty sneeze.

KELIA: Thank you, Kelia. I have always loved Yoda’s introduction in ESB. His routing through Luke’s provisions cracked me up every time.

DarthIshtar: Thanks, Ish. It is rather scatterbrained!

LilyHobbitJedi: Thanks for reading, Lily. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I decided not to call him a troll, which is another way to describe him.

Meredith_Kenobi: Thank you, Master. R2’s Sneeze was a little more than just that…

dancing_star: Thanks for stopping in, star!

JediKaren: I’m glad you had fun with it, JediKaren.

Haha! Poor Luke, so confuzzled. Poor Yoda, with such an impossible student.
