The Phantom Voice of Space Opera

Yes, young toddler Skywalker,
I am your menacing father.
Hey, stop kicking and screaming
and let me change your diaper!
You heard me, boy, loud and clear,
the Dark Side has all the power,
stronger than your mother's love.
No reaching for your lightsaber!
Okay, that's it! Poops! Time to Force-
choke, Force-drain you to near-death.
Do you not fear Lord Vader's wrath?
